Pros

Reverse commute in my case, free meals. Smart people, career development, stimulating environment (also a con at times, too much reflection and self diagnosing)

Cons

Too much community and socializing with co-workers, culture "homework", over analyzing.

Pros

The culture is good in theory when you find the right manager. The benefits have stayed fairly good but used to be much better.

Cons

The culture has developed lots of subcultures and agendas of more recent management hires who want to recreate what they had at other companies rather than embrace what the culture is truly about.
