Pros

Innovative company with a great location close to Chicago. Interned there for a summer and was treated as a regular employee. Gave me many projects to sharpen my skills and advance my career.

Cons

People dedicated to their work. Not a lot of interaction within the cafe or outside the office.

Pros

Great place to improve your professional development. I truly believe they live their values. They have a great reputation in the community and is still a desired place to work. Their benefits package is the best I've ever seen, though it is being pared down to meet Wall Street expectations.

Cons

Very slow to change. Leadership has a hard time saying no to projects. Couple that tendency with restrictions on hiring for the past two years and it leaves you with more work than can possibly get done. This has a demoralizing effect on the workforce.
