Great place to work--NOT for the faint of heart!

Pros

vacation time is very generous. Benefits are generous, as well. Doing something you love everyday is preiceless. Working in such close quarters you develop great friends-- and enemies. Lots of bright, attractive people to work with.

Cons

The people are often back-stabbing climbers. Management is often vague and/or contradicting. People are human and make mistakes.
