Pros

Fast paced, changing all the time, aka layoffs and restructuring, if you like that kind of thing. Let's be honest, who in their right mind would.

Cons

There is no interest in keeping people around, unless for some God forsaken reason you happen to be the one and only who can survive on 30 min of sleep, no raises, and saying yes to any request. This company has been around for some time, doubt this is why. Trends seem to point in a future selling off of this joint or selling pieces of the company down the road. No real investment in employees usually means long term isn't looking too rosey.
