Pros

Nice family oriented environment, if you are into that kind of thing. If you arent, you feel a bit like an outsider. Very informative, innovative and with lots of room to grow.

Cons

Again, you have to be "one of them" to fit in.they do a lot of activities together and if you are the type of person to keep work and home seperate, this is not the place for you. By default, it makes it a "who you run elbows" promotion environment.
