Pros

Relaxed work atmosphere. Flexible hours. Good people to work with. Great lunchroom with good selection and prices. Easy to go and talk with people in other departments. Perks sometimes include renting a movie theater and watching a newly released movie. Fantastic family Halloween party. My boss would often have lunch with the people under him. What I needed to do was made clear and I usually was given enough time to complete my project.

Cons

Company going too many directions, needs guidance. Overall it feels like the company is coasting, not going anywhere. I could not even tell you the main product focus of the company.
