Pros

Work is driven by the company's mission and values. Employees are smart and hardworking.

Cons

The company's culture is very specific: politically left-leaning, environmental issues over everything, outdoor-loving, extreme pride in working for Patagonia. People know it's hard to get a job there, so when they have one, they often reek of smug superiority. Honestly, working there felt kind of like being in a cult. Definitely not a place for everyone, but excellent for a certain kind of person.
