Pros

The benefits are decent and there is a cafe on site. There is also a gym that employees can have access to for a small monthly fee.

Cons

Promotions are hard to come by unless you "know someone" or they like you. At this point I would think promotions are scarce since there are several layoffs happening. Sensitivity is lacking as well.
