Pros

some of the best work life balance in the industry great leadership, very positive and warm culture with social events, etc.. stock has a history of growing a lot free lunches M-W-F joined as an intern and got a new grad offer like everyone else in my intern cohort

Cons

low-ish pay for new grads. Make sure you have a competing offer for leverage (total comp package for new grads that are able to negotiate is around 135 base + 25 stocks + 50 signing bonus as time of writing)
