Pros

Great hours. Amazing culture. Great work/life balance. Very understanding of personal issues.

Cons

Hard to move up. A lot of drama. Favouritism. People seem to be promoted for amount of years they've been here, rather than for their work.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
