Pros

open office culture, freedom and flexibility to get stuff done, great for folks who build an informal network, pets at work, fair compensation and benefits - middle of the road. Fun to talk about pets and petfood, people are interested in what you do

Cons

numerous acquisitions in the recent years has diluted the culture a bit and allowed in a few low-performers through the cracks. The size is getting a bit cumbersome and it hurts some of the agility there was previously when the business was smaller
