Pros

The benefits are awesome, the people are nice, some of the senior technical staff are very helpful. The management decisions are transparent and for the most part the overhead is manageable. Low to medium stress level with good balance.

Cons

Consensus driven decisions make aggresive development impossible. Salaries and raises are mediocre. Growth opportunities are slim.
