Pros

The culture of efficiency, hard work, and drive are incredible. It remains pretty professional at all times, though the brilliant people you work with make up for the all-work mentality

Cons

-Hard work/life balance: depending on your division, there's pressure to stay late, though it's often for good reason -Getting fired is always a surprise to everyone--lack of transparency -Runs lean, but sometimes TOO lean
