Pros

Very smart people. Interesting tasks.

Cons

Innovation is difficult. Technical people kept at arms length from business which makes rapid learning cycles impossible. Workers in mid 40s and older are marginalized unless they have made shift to senior management or are at highest rungs of tech ladder.

Cons

The company’s greatest “pros” are also its greatest “cons”
