Pros

Great benefits. Smart co-workers. Great offices. Great perks.

Cons

Too many systems and processes - most of which folks don't follow. There's little follow up after your initial on boarding. Very corporate DNA. Culture of meeting after meeting - difficult to make decisions or change the way things are done.
