Pros

They create products that help people with serious illnesses. If I were someone with MS, I would be glad that this company exists...so long as I didn't actually meet anyone there.

Cons

Senior management are some of the most vile, careerist, unpleasant people you'll ever want to meet--particularly in the IT department.
