Pros

* The engineers that work there are wonderful, smart, talented, passionate, and driven. * Get every other Friday off. * Better paying than most companies (but at what cost?) * Very encouraging of a healthy working environment (debatably).

Cons

* The engineers are under-appreciated/not well known or well utilized by upper management. * There are 2-5 managers for every engineer, rather than the other way around. * Upper management continues to pinch pennies by stretching engineering resources as thinly as possible.
