Opensource values. Lot of opportunities for graduate students. Young collective. Informal and very friendly atmosphere. Great management which is in touch with lower employees. Benefits are good.

Cons

Absolutely lack of employees on senior level = after few years there's nobody to learn from. No real career development. Salary under average.

Pros

lots of sharp people to work with. fast paced environment where you learn on the fly.

Cons

doesn't seem to pay competitively in some departments such as global support services. Some departments are still nice to work for and will pay and treat people appropriately. Global support services however has taken the lower road. little freedom to do the right thing is given and micromanagement is a real problem. you will not even get close to your market value and the low pay is not worth staying in this kind of environment.
