Great Company/Excellent Benefits

Pros

Benefits are incredible (no deductible and stock options!)

Cons

There is a bit of a cult feel to the Utah office, with continual pushing to force people to participate in after hours things. These are all deemed optional when they are initially discussed but there is a repercussion if you do not OPT to go.
