Pros

The work is fun and the people are great

Cons

Loyalty is not rewarded. Many people have to leave and come back to get a higher position. Massive layoffs and restructures constantly, forcing a feeling of uneasiness and causing managers to lie when they know you're getting let go but they have to hide it, They pay is very low.
