-Unique products and programs you can't find anywhere else

Cons

-Some groups have 30+ people badged to a single manager
-Very difficult to get promoted once you reach a certain point
-Limited opportunities to
-How much you enjoy your job and how you are promoted can be very impacted by whether or not you have a good manager. I have seen and had both good and bad managers and my career and job satisfaction have been a function of how good or bad the person in charge is.
