Pros

Nice, modern building with air conditioning. Plenty of bathrooms, complimentary gym membership. Open work space if you like the sort of thing.

Cons

There are a handful of people that are consistently promoted on a quarterly basis while the other members of the company are overlooked. Company wide goals and focus shift constantly- severely low on funds, frequent layoffs (about 1/3 of company gone in 1 year). Tough to have a positive outlook.
