Nice comfortable working conditions, nice tennis court

Pros

Non management people are good. Cafe. Gym. Benefits

Cons

Management. They can't be fired, so they do as they please. One manager told me on her first week that the founder of the company needed to die so the company can move forward. This person also did freelance work, while at work. Another called in sick constantly, and falsified time sheets. Get the picture?
