Pros

I worked with some great people, but that's all I can really say.

Cons

It's a sink-or-swim mentality.

Extremely long hours and a lack of work/life balance.

Inconsistent management and insensitive leaders. You can only be promoted if you are a frat boy; good luck if you are not a white youngster. HR is aware; they whine about management all day too, but they're scared. If you are not with the brotherhood, you can be fired for no reason, so it's all command and control.

Poor ethics.

Advice to Management

Hold middle management accountable.
