Pros

Their health benefits are great.

Cons

Company culture is very behind compare to many other companies. There are a lot of work politics. Tolerates and reward slackers, while making irrational demands towards top performers. Overall work environment is very toxic and unreasonable. No room to grow, no flexibility, no work life balance.
