Pros

Great work-life balance (I am never expected to work more than 8 hours a day), individual offices (although this is quickly changing in the newer buildings), amazing benefits

Cons

Middle management isn't the best. A lot of my projects feel like they are just catering to some director's whim. Also, there is a strong sentiment that showing some data, even if it is bad/dirty/incomplete, is better than showing no data - something I fundamentally disagree with.
