Pros

Good pay scales, fast paced and challenging.

Cons

If your face does not fit there are limited progression opportunities. If you do not have a good family support network or good child care provisions then this probably not the company for you. Work/life balance is a major issue.

The work possibilities aren't too great, at least when you start with the company. The salary is competitive, but not great. Hard to work out vacations and occasional day-offs
