Pros

Used to be prestigious. Relatively stress free. Work around 60 hrs/wk. Casual, academic culture. Friendly in the trenches. Great place to learn.

Cons

Poor performance. Low morale. Senior management lacks accountability. Every re-org shuffles the middle, while the top remains hopelessly. Intellectually snobby (think Boston).
