Pros

- Very good salary. - Good bonuses if your peers allow it. - A lot of flexibility in your time management. - If you are a horn tooter you will succeed.

Cons

- Work is piled in a way that you can flexibly decide when to work 16 hours per day. - The ranking system seems to be gone, but the internal culture and people still enforce it. In the review system there is a "check box" equivalent to a rank of Underperforming. - You can do your job perfectly (no errors) and on time and still be pushed to an Underperforming status compared to your peers. - If you care a lot about your work's result this company may or may not be a good fit for you; it all depends on how many tasks you can perform at the same time.
