Pros

Good benefits - lower level employees are what makes the company roll.

Cons

Both the CEO and founder of the company are looking out for themselves and not the people that make their already cushy lives cushier. Employees to them are nothing more than dollar signs,disposable, and replaceable. They would rather put people out of work than sacrifice anything that might even remotely impact their lavish lifestyle. Upper level management are spineless and will not stand up for any employee, specifically in the technology department. Loyalty means nothing to anyone above manager, and most managers will put their subordinates on the chopping block instead of standing up against irrational budgetary decisions. -0- work life balance - when an owner calls you are expected to drop everything for them regardless of day, time, or season. Everything revolves around, and centers on, the families comfort, regardless of the other altruistic (minimal for these people) endeavors presented to the public, and if you don't go out of your way to meet those comfort requirements then you are simply disposed of.

Pros

Great salary and benefits. Beautiful office space. Nice location for mass transit. Given the right project and blessing from management it can be wonderful environment to work on very interesting projects.

Cons

Because the real function of the place to satisfy the whims of the owners (often without any other clear criteria), it can become very strange and somewhat irrational work environment. The owners are spoiled children who are surrounded by senior managers who do and say anything to please the boss and keep their own jobs. This creates an incredible bubble around the owners that prevents them from seeing the reality they have created.
