Pros

Free soda. Work from home Wednesdays. Great work atmosphere if you're a frat bro who sniffles.

Cons

Toxic work atmosphere. Laid off 100 of their best, most productive workers in a needlessly aggressive layoff on a Thursday afternoon. Treated those who'd been there from the very beginning like criminals. Clueless managers who want to be the cool mom/dad, when they're not busy flirting. Obnoxious open office layout. Loud coworkers who are always sick. Outsourced most work to Poland (and it looks like those poor kids are now forced to write positive GlassDoor reviews). Bad people make bad companies.
