Pros

Amazing scope to learn and grow, and a variety of internal roles and teams at your disposal to move within. Pay is definitely lucrative!

Cons

A little high-stress environment, urgency for almost everything, and the others depend on your team and boss! The performance mechanism is designed to fire the "bottom" quartile every year.
