Pros

Great benefits (commute, health, etc.). Great culture and values. Helpful coworkers, embodying the company's values to help each other strive and produce the best quality work for customers. The company is the first advocate for employees' well-being (work-life balance). Oh ... and most importantly, a very diverse place (constantly aiming for better).

Cons

If you, unlike me, like a "nerdy" environment with less communication and exchange with coworkers, THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR YOU.
