Pros

Many colleagues are good people and good at their job, it's exciting to work at somewhere so influential, it's good on the resume, great food

Cons

Neverending workload and hours, constant firedrill - change for change's sake, lack of recognition, very limited career opportunities for many (all of whom are used to being high achievers), highly political, company rests on its laurels regarding its reputation as a great employer
