Pros

-"Unlimited" vacation (for certain departments but not all - depends on your boss) -Colleagues - they are not necessarily hard working/qualified/intelligent, but are enjoyable to be around -Nice offices -Events thrown by the company - happy hours, speaker series

Cons

-Management has no idea what they are doing - hence the slew of bad press regarding the IPO. It's also very clearly a company started by three men - aggression is definitely allowed and often encouraged -Way more things should have been automated earlier on if the company wants to be profitable -Dysfunctional HR department that just slows everything down and does absolutely NOTHING to make sure employees are happy (hence the ridiculous turnover)
