Pros

Great benefits, they treat you well. Company values are good and company does more than usual to try to stick to them. Company leadership is good. (Owned by microsoft but operates very independently with their own culture.)

Cons

I worked in Foundation and I think it was worse than other parts of the company seemed to be for actually following the company values. Kind of formal and boring.
