Pros

Good place to work, relaxed and many employee benefits

Cons

Poor HR, no software engineering processes, low pay. Software development offices next to the toilet and you can hear every flush. Almost no meaningful product/software requirements definitions which lead to a moving target which half the bonus is based on. No requirement = management more easily changing verbal requirements at the drop of a hat. I have worked at companies that were great at defining requirement in the Telecommunications and Medical industries as well as companies which do none (like Nordson) in my 25 years of software development. I quit with no other job lined up just to go somewhere that knows what they are developing.
