Pros

A work/life balance strategy that is not just an "on paper" statement, but they actually believe in it. Very flexible work arrangements.

Cons

Worst internal communications than any company i have ever worked for. Zero regard for American workers - they are outsourcing everything to offshore workers. A stated policy of not promoting anyone. In order to get a promotion you have to change jobs or change teams. No upward movement in your current team/position.
