Pros

They (used to) pay well Food and great coffee at the office Company events done at great scale and with attention to detail (no expense spared) Interesting challenges to work on Informal dress-code They invest in some trainings for you

Cons

No opportunity to work from home Extremely arrogant: they think they are the smartest out there. Debatable It's definitely not a flat organization. Lots of micro-management and lack of flexibility. Multiple roadblocks due to the tech set-up: lots of tools just don't work at their "normal" capacity Macho culture: focus almost solely on the profit, not so much on the employees and culture Favoritism of friends and relatives in the interview process Dated office with clutter and stained carpet, which they think looks great for some reason.
