Pros

Great colleagues, great office space, decent work/life balance most of the time, and awesome benefits.

Cons

You will not get promoted based on your people skills, ability to successfully deliver successful projects, or hard work. It seems they focus too much on being a top coder, having an Ivy League diploma, having important personal connections, and possibly your background.

Advice to Management

Promote worthy people who have put in time before promoting new hires with little industry experience, based solely on what school they went to.
