Pros

You're likely to work with kind people who just want to do their work as well as they can, and then go home. You can have a very long and successful career (at the firm) if you choose to stay and play the game or opt-out entirely.

Cons

The culture of promotions and performance is based largely on tenure (at the firm) and visibility than actual contributions. Titles are given as in-the-door incentives to new hires, and withheld from internal candidates (unless making internal moves for promotions). It's well known and frequently communicated that you need to move groups to get promotions, yet you're encouraged to communicate your intentions to your manager. Every internal policy seems geared towards retaining mediocre talent (that can't leave) and encouraging talent to seek better options within or outside the firm. Pay is based on "cost of labor", which trails by one or more years - you'll constantly be paid at your "I would riot below this" number year-after-year.
