Pros

Brilliant coworkers. Culture promotes continuous learning. There's a famous author, artist or industry leader giving a talk or performance at the company every week. Amazing perks. 50% match in 401k.

Cons

Inexperienced middle managers who are where they are because they were strong individual contributors, and not necessarily strong people managers. Becoming more and more political. Lack of autonomy in your job. Decisions, even the most inconsequential, seem to be made by a few people in each department. Few career advancement opportunities. No work/life balance.
