Pros

If you are new or unskilled, you'll be fine, just don't stay too long

Cons

Run by a narcissistic management team. Very top-heavy, completely unqualified, unimaginative, and uninterested in anything challenging. If you want to work in a place where the hierarchy defines your worth, and everyone below you is less than you, then you'll be fine. Don't bother trying to get anything done if you have any technical skills.
