Pros

Easy to believe in the products and thus feel good about the work/contribution. Decent bonus and benefits package. Starbucks and health clinic onsite.

Cons

Rife with complacency. Good people quickly leave, as they must make up for the incompetents around them by taking on heavier workloads.
