Pros

Benefits and work life balance are good, it is easy to collect a paycheck if you don't care. Cafeteria, Starbucks, dry cleaning, gym on site

Cons

Very hierarchical, very political, one negative review hurts your career, awfully inexperienced managers, lots of dead weight, consensus culture kills speed, challenging the norm is frowned upon but stealing others' ideas is not
