Pros

1. The people are some of the most energetic that I've worked with at any company. 2. The company nurtures a strong sense of community and comradery amongst the employees.

Cons

1. Too many bureaucratic hurdles in getting things done. 2. One of the company mottos is to "embrace change". However, from a front line perspective, constant change can make planning of long term projects very difficult.
