Pros

such a laid back place to work. tons of free food and drinks. amazing beer bash every Friday. anything you may need to do your job better you can order relatively problem free. nice equipment to work with. a lot of the employees are really into what they do and it helps create a great work environment.

Cons

hard to move up. office politics run deep.
