Pros

Good to have on your resume

Cons

Highly political, packing with people with pedigree degrees who think they are smart but can't execute any original ideas. Pockets of good people but the short story is that the company is toxic. Don't go there unless you need a temporary place while you are looking for a real job.

Pros

Hard working colleagues, at times.

Cons

I found a lot of people I worked with were just racking up sinecures they felt they had earned. Lots of laziness.
