Pros

A very solid, yet still growing company, and a culture that welcomes questions without feeling stupid. It makes for a great opportunity to learn, build your skills, and be a part of a pretty large team.

Cons

Slightly lower pay than elsewhere (which I think is why I've noticed some turnover), but I think the benefits fill that gap (depending on which one's you care about).
