Pros

Come and go as you want. Free food often.

Cons

Employees don't care about their jobs. They have no reason to. You are treated as if you're slow and not worth managements time. Management has made the culture one where you are in fear for your job. Forget about disagreeing with management because they will find some reason to fire you. Come in and just hope to stay on the good side. Good luck if you decide to work here but remember there's a reason a bunch of employees are leaving or looking to leave because there is nothing worth staying here for.

Bad management and even worse HR

Pros

The people who actually do the work are great people.

Cons

Management cannot get out of their own way. The infighting and backstabbing takes up most of their day. Not much time left to manage after that. When something goes wrong the search parties are sent out for scapegoats. Don't expect HR to help resolve problems - they are too busy planning for retirement.
