Pros
Good pay, flexible work from home, some very smart, nice people
Cons
Leadership is more like middle school cliques. Secret mailing lists, invite-only groups, and political strategies. They spend so much money on communication training but senior level guards information like classified files. "information is power" advice is taken too seriously. Managers spend too much time thinking about how to get ahead. Gossip and negative comments coming from managers about each other. The hierarchy is well-established and managers make alliances to move up. Think BIG CRO culture but with little fish eating each other. Laughable! Fast way to get ahead is to brown nose the right people and the world is your oyster. Some people like to make up reasons to travel internationally for work purposes but everyone knows it's for vacation and fun. Company spends more on internal parties and trips for department meetings than making improvements. Get into one of the inner circles and do what you like.
