Pros

The only good reason I can think of to work there is that they pay you on time.

Cons

You never know when you are going to go home. Management treats you like you are vermin and constantly bullies you. They expect you to know everything from the very first day. They blame you for things that aren't even your responsibility. They make you fee worthless. More than 3 co-workers of mine had to have back surgery from working there. Its so fast paced and intense to the extent of harming your health. They abuse you mentally.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
