Pros

free snacks in the pantry, unlimited sick days, lots of opportunities to do volunteer/charity work

Cons

no defined career path or structure for progressions, nepotistic and extremely hierarchical management structure, repetitive and mindless work. Global Data employs data inputters yet calls them analysts, learning is very limited after initial training, the review process is based on manager "impressions" and deliberately vague, lots of under-motivated unintelligent people doing drudge work makes for a depression environment
