Pros

Ample opportunities to learn new things.

Work with a lot of hard-working, bright people.

If you are a hard-working individual with plenty of personal time to spare on work, you can do really well here.

Cons

From my personal experience, relative to the work you do, the compensation isn't high despite common sentiment about this company.

Depending on the group you're in, things get political, and it's hard to advance your career if you don't know the right people.

If you want to move up the ladder, you have to forget about your personal life and ensure that you work nights and weekends. Plus, you need to ensure that upper management is aware of your personal sacrifices.
