Pros

There are some genuinely honest and decent people working here.

Cons

There might be a chance that you end up working in a team that's good, but it's far more likely that you will end up working in a team supporting decades old technologies, working with tech leaders that have no idea how to build a good tech ecosystem. This can end up wreaking havoc on your professional career as a technologist. You will learn nothing that will carry you forward in your career. At best, you'll end up with a brand name on your resume, but the bureaucracy and politics of this place will destroy your soul.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
