      Pros

      Excellent compensation. Generally there are solid practices in place to ensure the work is done properly. Ample experienced employees to guide the less experienced staff. The people who have longevity with FE are the best group to work with, hands down.

      Cons

      Experience and wisdom is not valued. The young and "high potential" employees tend to get paid equally or more than those who have 10+ years in the job and at higher levels, doing more complex work. If you haven't been identified as a high potential by the time you are 40, be prepared to be ostracized as "not the right fit for current team dynamics" and passed over in lieu of less experienced, but conformist (i.e. young and impressionable who will never step up and give their honest, but respectful opinion or advice) type of employees. The influence of the high-pos are turning the company into "The Emperor's New Clothes".
