Pros

Cool people to work with. Pretty flexible schedule. Opportunity to advanced if you're able to move or if you know somebody.

Cons

Open positions more often than not seem to be promised to someone else and are only posted for legal reasons. Company seems to do a lot of hiring from outside. Typical office politics and playing favorites.
