Pros

There are very few pros. I'm biased because i'm desperately trying to escape.

Cons

So many. In fact, I was in a meeting yesterday where I overheard that because of some recent negative reviews on Glassdoor... the strategy was to actually post fake reviews and encourage existing employees to post positive reviews (which is basically intimidation) Terrible. This is what prompted me here today actually. My advice - don't believe the hype. Take the negative reviews very seriously.
