Pros

Free coffee and tea. Some really nice people scattered within.

Cons

Company culture is based on a buddy system made up of 'yes men' and narcissists. If you are not apart of the system, you will not be considered for promotions or given much respect for your work efforts. HR is closed door and very little assistance to non-managerial employees.

Good colleagues to work with

Cons

Small possibility of advancement. During the recession we were forced to "voluntarily" take a week off to protect the bottom line for shareholders.
