Pros

Good people, multicultural, free drinks/snacks/coffee, weekly food provided

Cons

Little or no career progress, appears to be a "dead-end", pretty much a call center mentality! tenured employees aren't kept and hit a brick wall, then leave Overworked, workload exponentially growing with no relief or very slow ramp-up/backfill "Changes" are implemented on the fly, with little or no research on impact to employees
