Pros

You'll help the company to profit and they'll boast about "big wins", while they keep your salary frozen for a few years. You'll learn the art of brown-nosing in order to get ahead, regardless of your intellect. Great team culture, if you like to take one for the team.

Cons

Promotion is based on "who you know" rather than "what you know". They keep your salary frozen for extended periods (2-3 years). Lack of accountability: You are expected to do things that other people are supposed to own, and then aren't even recognized for it. Poor recognition: Do your job very well and you hear nothing. Make one mistake, and they hang it over your head like a dark cloud.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
