Pros

Brand will shine on your CV Difficult to get promoted, be sure to negotiate salary when hired (if this matters the most to you) Good tools and a lot of money is invested in IT, Super good office, Community spirit, free coffee

Cons

You destiny depends on where you get hired. Every group is totally different. Meritocracy does not exist, you need to have super relationship with manager an above A lot of people want to gain visibility rather than working for the good of the company
