Pros

First, the company cares about employees' well-being (fitness center on campus, work-life balance classes, career development classes, etc). In addition, it's less uptight than most other technology companies. There isn't a strict dress code, work hours are fairly flexible, and interns work on the same floor with the CEO.

Cons

The biggest downside, by far, is that employees are overworked. We're currently in a hiring freeze to avoid layoffs during this recession, but everyone I know is doing several people's jobs. Lots of projects are falling through the cracks as a result.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Laid back, low stress work environment. Seems to care about its employees. Collegues are very nice. Flexible working hours.

Cons

Middle Managment is useless. Lack of working efficiency. You could probably find higher pay elsewhere.
