Pros

Good brand recognition and exposure to new technologies.

Cons

Treat people like numbers. The "new culture" that the CEO is advertising, is either not sticking or is being interpreted internally as "continue with command and control, political empire building, backstabbing and inhumane treatment of employees... but smile while you do it and throw in a few compliments." The high stress political games are driving away the best talent . Executives care about what is best for themselves with no regard for what's best for employees or even the organization. The infighting between Managing directors is overtly distracting and causes huge technology silos. If a new executive starts that is even mildly ethical, its either beaten out of them or they are let go in short order.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
