Pros

Smart, professional people, competent management. Relaxed but professional atmosphere. Good feedback on work -- motivated to do well. Flexible scheduling.

Cons

No downside that I could think of -- the work I was doing was not so interesting, but that is no fault of the company.

Pros

If you're looking for a 9-5 job with low stress and don't mind a below market salary in exchange, then this is the place for you. I liked the casual atmosphere. Benefits were on par with market. The group I worked in was family friendly in the sense that managers were willing to accomodate adjusted work schedules but they did not allow employees to work from home.

Cons

No advancement opportunities or career growth. Jobs are very narrow in scope with little room to expand into a larger or more complex role. While this may be efficient for the company it makes for a very monotonous and excessively routinized job. Very little communication between departments except among management.
