Pros

The company culture exudes a "Can Do" attitude. Innovation and reasonable risk taking is encouraged. Loaded with highly skilled people who are valued by the company. It's a great environment if you're the entrepreneurial type.

Cons

Can have long hours and stress. Also has an inordinately heavy Indian influence for being an American company. The price of all the flexibility can be chaotic for those not attuned to it. If you prefer a regular 9-5 desk job with no surprises, this isn't the place for you.
