Pros

Provided great perks for being a larger company like excellent benefits, expenses, etc. also you got to customize office for better ergonomics. also great for starting out at job.

Cons

Way too much hiring and subsequent layoffs. too much company family. not much room for improvement unless your boss actively pushes for you to get on training list. Favored the talkers over the hard workers. Felt there was an inner circle and rest of staff.
