Pros

Breakfast is free..you can get that in some other places as well ;)

Cons

Core Values(real skills): - Continuous Improvement and the Pursuit of Excellence : Kill anyone who believes in this before.Use design reviews as a forum to undermine creativity. Question intent and attack personality. - Respect and Invest: Respect yourself only and make sure new comers dont know about internal trainings. - Rational Workplace Kill anyone who demands rationalization with "MathWorks way" or even "Jack's way". - Learning and Self-Improvement Make sure your finacial self improoves. Poor sales guys and developers are supposed to work for our imporvemwent ;). - Credibility and Integrity: Make credibility by managing perception. Make sure your boss is happy with few peers talking good about you. Results don't matter. Anything screwed up can always be defended. Integrity: Its purposely kept as last value.This implies if for achieving other values if integrity is lost not an issue.
