Pros

Good benefits for the most part with relaxed work atmosphere; consensus driven culture is obvious from the moment you walk in the door

Cons

LOL is very political; almost all decisions are made based on the politics of an issue rather than economics. Many people are in their positions based on seniority rather than ability.
