Pros

They respect people and create a positive working environement. Work is interesting and you can get a lot of responsibility early on.

Cons

Politics and lack of transparency in HR is very bad. Transfers/promotions is a very convoluted and opaque process. Most people don't get the transfer they want unless they threaten to quit.
