Pros

Great clothing discount (although not as great with discount policy changes), casual work environment with some flexibility in work/life balance issues.

Cons

Heavy favoritism exists, not very competent senior leaders get promoted due to likability factor instead of based on professional ability or skills. Pressure on middle management to deliver favorable performance reviews for senior leaders' favorites. Phrase I've heard several times for favored staff is "don't you believe this person is performing above target?" as opposed to "how would you rate this person's performance?" for all others.
