Pros
Pay Lots of smart people around you all working as hard as you do to make company succeed Strangers say "I love that company", this will always make you feel good
Cons
Always on -- blackberries are assigned on entrance to corporate and you can bet your bottom dollar that no matter where you are, you will be expected to at least stay on top of the latest, if not participate. Hyper insular culture -- the fallacy of success pervades this company like no other. VPs are never wrong, even when they are, because the companies' success surely must be a reflection of the VPs and C level people's prior decisions. Challenge the VPs more than once and you will be sure not to last too long Related to always on: incessant pressure. Since as early as the first round interviews you are informed that you may be let go any day for any reason, you will spend at the least the first 12 months in chronic fear. Once out of the first 12 months, you will always hear that voice in the back of your head say, "you better work harder or the ax may fall tomorrow."
