Pros

Many colleagues are good people and good at their job, it's exciting to work at somewhere so influential, it's good on the resume, great food

Cons

Neverending workload and hours, constant firedrill - change for change's sake, lack of recognition, very limited career opportunities for many (all of whom are used to being high achievers), highly political, company rests on its laurels regarding its reputation as a great employer

Pros

*Perks *Brand Name on CV *Has long-term potential if it can become a real company and not a startup anymore *Some really smart people can be found

Cons

Reorgs every 6 months regardless of departmental needs. Getting promoted on merit is near impossible. Zombie projects are the norm. Lots of people trying to steal your ideas and backstab you for advancement opportunities.
