Pros

Prestigious company and leaders in their field. It's hard to get your foot in the door but well worth it, even for a short period, because you'll learn a lot and it looks great on your CV. Excellent pay. Global opportunities to work out of offices abroad, even temporarily if your job allows. All meals, drinks and snacks are free. Great social activities. High calibre staff. If you have a great manager then you'll possibly be there a very long time.

Cons

Workload expectation were excessively heavy. Consensus was, you were expected to work beyond your contracted hours. leaving on time at the end of the day was frowned upon, even when you'd managed your workload. Repeatedly extending work hours beyond your contract actually dilutes your equivalent hourly pay significantly. Living to work instead of working to live is not for everyone. I've seen hardcore workaholics throw in the towel there for that very reason.

Pros

- Great C-level executives and their directs. Have great visions & values and they actually practice them. - Free lunch, snacks, drinks, etc in the California office locations - regular company activities to promote team building. - Very open to making opportunities for yourself - your manager won't help you, but if you can make the connections yourself, do it!

Cons

- Poor management and director level leadership - Mismatch between compensation and work expectations between groups - Regularly hires managers externally than promoting ready and eager analysts from within due to over-valuation of an MBA and management consulting experience from the big three (Bain, BCG, McKinsey) despite them NOT being that bright or having people management experience

Pros

The culture and values are real. Casual atmosphere breeds familiarity and easy accessibility to high level executives.

Cons

The demands and pacing quickly overwhelm talented people who have been top performers their entire lives. It is extremely hard to get headcount despite the exponential growth of the company. If you're not a salesperson or an engineer, expect to work with extremely lean resources and ever increasing demands.
