Pros

Company isn't kidding when it promotes its work-life balance Smart people - many people are hired directly from their MBA degrees

Cons

- slow pace of getting things done, in exchange for work-life balance - bureaucracy and too many layers - promotion is dependent on team growth or if someone leaves - lack of ambition all around, so not a place to be if you want fast/merit-based advancement
