Pros

Big company name recognition, learning resources, young employees get lifted up to management.

Cons

Most puppyManagement doesn’t know the trenches therefore overload on work is usual. No actual job reviews. Very clique like culture. Upper management always hires family and friends. You have to have a certain look or be o certain age to be promoted with a title.
