Pros

Very good Work and Life balance. Good team work atmosphere. Senior management willing to share business plan and outlook with all employees. Great mix of people

Cons

Long working hours during peak times. Management likes to keep the company running very lean, which means most departments are bordering on being understaffed. Most managers are working managers, which is fine. But some people do not make this assumption.
