Pros

Good brand recognition and exposure to new technologies.

Cons

Treat people like numbers. The "new culture" that the CEO is advertising, is either not sticking or is being interpreted internally as "continue with command and control, political empire building, backstabbing and inhumane treatment of employees... but smile while you do it and throw in a few compliments." The high stress political games are driving away the best talent . Executives care about what is best for themselves with no regard for what's best for employees or even the organization. The infighting between Managing directors is overtly distracting and causes huge technology silos. If a new executive starts that is even mildly ethical, its either beaten out of them or they are let go in short order.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
