Pros

Casual dress code is a nice option but some people take it too far and dress very unprofessional

Cons

Chaotic is the norm as are fire drills. Bad decisions made by Sr. Management because they have their hands too far down- they should be focuses on strategy and improving a declining culture. Culture is arrogance and favoritism. Makes it difficult to enjoy when you know Sr. Managers put people down, black list them and walk around with a sense of superiority. Place is getting so crowded that it's not pleasant anymore. They saw this growth coming years ago so why they haven't addressed it sooner is beyond me. If you join the company and don't drink the Kool-Aid your time will be marked. Just go in and fake it till you can get out and work for a real company that doesn't use buzz words like "disruptive innovation" and "fast paced". Beware of harassment and lack of diversity. Everyone looks the same and acts the same. Cult like.

Pros

Benefits are good, location is simple for commuters, an onsite fitness facility and cafeteria made this a nice place to work, until they started trying to fit a 10lb company in to a 5lb box.

Cons

Overcrowding has definitely started to become a major issue. It's great that the company is quickly growing, but people are also quickly becoming unhappy with the work environment now that they are adding people too quickly for building expansion. I can't see the growth keeping up with current levels if employees continue to be subjected to this environment.
