Some of the smartest, dedicated, and motivated people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Also, a great place to learn a ton.

The politics can be difficult and prohibitive. They also prevent the company from reaching its maximum potential in the marketplace.

Business Outlook

Pros

Intellectually stimulating environment, work hard and take on multiple responsibilities but the hours are decent and the work is meaningful. Also have lots of exposure to the major thought leaders in the company which is really helpful.

Cons

Very formal environment, and you are expected to take on roles outside of your main job. Also can get political at times given that everyone is very type A and wants to outperform.
