Pros

Free meals are excellent. Most individual contributors that joined the company during the last year are technically talented and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Due to the "Peter principle" in action - the workload is heavy in most departments due to high employee attrition. There is a juvenile (unprofessional) social culture (7th grade) that feels more like Sesame Street and less like a business. It was hard to take this place (and some leaders) seriously. One example: Unrestricted access to free alcohol at work combined with the 7th grade social culture is a bad combination.
