Pros

If you're part of the in group, you'll get promoted regularly and recognized for your contributions. But only if you're part of the in group.

It's still a good ol boys club, it's just a new set of good ol boys. For certain roles, it doesn't matter how well you perform or how much you bring to the company you will never be recognized.
