      Pros

      Smart people Great technology Lots of learning resources Many internal job opportunities in HQ

      Cons

      Too much process overhead for well established team. Too much bureaucracy in some big organizations. Unreasonably enforced curve for performance review. Extremely hard to climb up ladder in some big money making groups. For IC role, experience doesn't matter much. Some group even prefers new graduates.
