Pros
Huge growth potential. All current managers all the way to senior VP moved up the ranks and are quite familiar with internal processes. Regardless of employee perceptions, good or bad, it is hard to argue that the company is not a winner and effectively managed.
Cons
The company style is extremely academic. All of the policies read like a checklist from an Ivy league MBA thesis on management. The problem is that every time management theory changes, so do policies and they require all of the managers to read and learn the new way. I found it a bit frustrating. Educational degrees and certificates carry far greater weight than prior outside experience.
