Pros

Great reputation in other companies Entry level compensation acceptable Learn to work with limited resources Learn how to order food late at night

Cons

Compensation much lower than industry average Recent layoffs mean no security for anyone Lack of any decent hardware means constant state of emergency Any long-term visions or plans are always truncated due to emergencies Politics at the MD level and above are complex and intrude on operations No one will ever thank for anything you do, no matter how important Any little mistake you make will be magnified and mentioned at comp/promo time
