Pros

They do a good job of recruiting similar people so going to work is like hanging out with friends. Stock program allows for amazing compensation after buying into it for 6-7 years. Cool projects.

Cons

Awful work life balance. Upper management preaches how important w/l balance is but it doesn't exist on the project level. A lot of career people so competition to rise is tough if you have a family or other commitments. HR doesn't inform you of the hours worked every week when hired on.
