Pros

Very good work-life balance, friendly staff, they offer a few perks throughout the year.

Cons

Unfortunately, it's not a place for meaningful work. If you know your what you're doing, play dumb, or you will intimidate a lot of people. It's a very task-oriented as opposed to goal-oriented place.
