Pros

- High growth business - Interesting and strategic projects - Marketing is done well so there is a lot one can learn - Good work life balance (most of the time) - Well resourced - large budgets, etc.

Cons

- Very hierarchical and bureaucratic, meaning it takes a long time and a lot of approvals to start/complete a project. Can get frustrating. - Limited opportunities for growth, aka they want you to do more work but keep you at the same title and salary forever. Promotions primarily go to white males and no clear criteria is given for what you need to do to advance to the next level.
