Pros

Freedom, there is very little accountability or strategic direction from upper management. If you know what you are doing and are driven, you can go far. Flex time is a great perk.

Cons

There is little accountability, your coworkers will take advantage of this. The Peter principle thrives here, especially in upper mgmt. Compensation is based more on years of experience than actual talent. Core values are lip service at best. Discussions about workplace problems or ideas to improve the work atmosphere with management or HR are as effective as discussing them with brick walls.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries are actually quite high. Good Health Benefits, with Dental and Vision. Very little supervision or accountability. You will lieterally go weeks without speaking to a partner-in-charge (who most likely will never know your name). Good place to hide while searching for a improved job.

Cons

No job security. Eventually you will be fired regardless how hard (or how long) you work. No opportunity for orginal work. All designs done by corporate planners. Interns have no influence. Designs stuck in the 1980's.
