Pros

Location right by the trains. Free La Croix and Goldfish crackers

Cons

Job postings say Bonus Potential. I guess this is technically true but don't expect anything near what they tell you the target for your role is during your interview. Also raises don't really exist so be sure you negotiate your starting salary really well because other than a COLA adjustment its not going to change no mater how hard you work.
