Pros

Excellent learning experience. Competitive pay. If you want to lead and excel and work in a competitive environment, this place is for you

Cons

If it's not, and you want to find a job that you like and can stay at for a long time, need not apply. Despite all their talk, the managers have no control. They are still lower on the hill in the direction of leadership. If you want to excel, just complete your tasks. They don't have to be right, they just need to be on time. They prefer to throw it up on the wall, rather than put any rational thought behind it.
