Pros

Nice building and the CEO seemed like a pretty cool guy with some great ideas for the company. Parking is close to the building.

Cons

I found my time at this company to be miserable from day one. I was overloaded with work to the point I didn’t have a life and I absolutely hated my boss. He was highly authoritarian, supporting outdated management philosophies, and was just a jerk in general. I hope not the whole company is like this. Other managers I met seemed more the norm so maybe I just got a bad apple. But HR did nothing to stop the bro mentality my manager fostered on our team. I have a wonderful boss now and love my job so leaving was the best part about that experience.
