Pros

Fine compensation relative to similar jobs elsewhere

Cons

No headcount growth means no growth for managers Culture is bad, almost everyone is here for money, no growth or learning, everyone is afraid to lose the job, so working hard to keep the lights on, without much purpose or true impact. Very competitive, political and toxic.

Pros

Particularly strong freedom to chart your own way. If you have an idea, you often get to pursue it (as long as you're also making progress on your main expectations).

Cons

There's no email—just a nonstop onslaught of instant messages. It's impossible to keep up, let alone keep up while making progress. Everyone is constantly in fear of being fired, and that's how they drive people to work insane hours.
