Pros

They're big on work-life balance and truly encourage you to take full advantage of the benefits. The benefits package is quite good.

Cons

For too many of the projects, there's too much emphasis on the quantity of time spent, and not the quality.

Business Outlook

Pros

Got to work on scientifically challenging problems, at the edge of the knowledge. Most projects are open source.

Cons

Flat hierarchy sometimes means no guidance nor clear direction. Living the open source passion in a profit-making company should not mean below-average wages.
