Pros

-Nice Office. -Pay if you are good at your job. -Don't fire people unless you are really bad. -Challenging work rate always a lot to do.

Cons

-Proprietary code and system. -Lot of bad legacy code and firefighting. -Get ready to be micro-managed on everything. -Processes are decided by out of touch managers and cannot be changed. -Employees feedback are never taken in account. -Get ready to be considered as untrustworthy even after years. -Turnover is really high (60% of company has been here less that two years) so nobody know how thing works. -Even though the company boast itself of it unique culture and been flexible don't get fooled they will let you down if you need them (sickness, disaster). -Everything is at manager discretion (so some people get a lot (trip, free meal) but most get nothing). -Priorities change every 5 min. -Less and less perks.
