Pros

Excellent top tier executive vision Great salary and benefits

Cons

NO work/life balance due to too few employees/too much work in many divisions. Ambiguous, conflicting, ever changing guidelines - often you have to make your best guess and you will hear. about it if you guess wrong. Amount of work expected is impossible. Open door policy is policy only. Yes, you can walk in any management door and make suggestions or ask if there is a way to improve an element of the job or state the metrics of the workload but you then become one of the bad guys.
