Pros

Great company, really great benefits, pretty much get everything you could possibly want from a company and more. Not as many perks as Google and other big tech companies, but they have all the basics. The company genuinely wants to do right by it's employees.

Cons

No nap pods :( Free catered lunches on Fridays are meh quality.
