Pros

Good high compensation with nice work environment in a nice town with some good perks like free food and coffee.

Cons

Like any work place, there is the usual politics and ladder climbing despite the rather different philosophy of complete openness espoused by the owner.

Pros

Great parties, facilities, amenities, benefits. Comp is good as well. Forces you to be come a better thinker and deal with ambiguity. Skills don't matter

Cons

Middle Management either does not exist, when it does, it does not have a clue on whats going on, while this is all going on, the few hard working talented people who can get things done are constantly grilled about whys behind their thinking
