Pros

Fun place to work (mostly). There are a few folks that don't seem to fit in and you wonder why they are there but for the most part people are smart and fun to work with. Work life balance / casual / cool projects.

Cons

two words: LOW pay. There's a general consensus of dissatisfaction with compensation amongst the rank and file. People learn to live with it and perceive they are subsidizing culture with low pay. Also - mgmt needs to revisit the company bonus formula.
