Pros

Good work-life balance, good people, free lunch on Fridays

Cons

New management is awful -- taking away benefits to save money. A few weeks ago, they cut our Christmas vacation without warning, so everyone in the company got a 5-day pay cut. We used to have beer and wine on Fridays starting at 4, so everyone can mellow out and relax before going home. Now, we have beer starting at 5pm on Thursdays -- unsafe because no one wants to drink right before they drive home. Management made that decision so that people wouldn't leave work early on Fridays. New CEO plays favorites and makes that bias obvious in weekly emails to the company.
