Pros

The culture really strives for continuous improvement and excellence. There are extremely smart driven people everywhere. Folks who have longevity with the company are extremely open minded, self deprecating, and helpful to others.

Cons

In the rapid growth of the organization the culture was one of the areas that struggled to scale which made it increasingly hard to immerse new people in it.

Pros

A place where you can truly think about how you think with some of the smartest people you will ever meet. A place to learn about yourself and the best and worst of people. A place to practice the art of BS at a level rarely seen in a free market based business. A place where you can be praised and rewarded for total failure - as long as you thought about it correctly.

Cons

A place where Technology is so old and insecure I would not run it within my own home. A place where doing a thing correctly is of no value what so ever. A place where your professional value declines every quarter you are there
