Pros

Amazing people, good benefits, an unbeatable sense of pride. Worth drinking the Kool-Aid.

Cons

Management across the board is too young and inexperienced. Departments are isolated from one another. Employees are treated as invaluable one moment, disposable the next. Extremely high-stress, terrible hours.
