Pros

9/80 schedule if you are in one of the old offices (San Francisco)

Cons

* Slow to change * Moving up requires either luck through a void or oppurtunity, or by networking internally - not really merit based. * Poor recognition for what you achieve. Unless you're on a sexy project you might as well be invisible. * Too many managers
