Pros

- great work-life balance. - good people to work with, very supportive. - because of work-life balance you get to pursue your hobbies and the company provides learning platforms for growing professionally.

Cons

- nothing noteworthy - minor stuff like the pantry is good enough, but there are a lot of alternatives for that, and shouldn't be the decision-changing factor.
