Pros

Good location Fantastic benefits Decent facilities Good reputation (for now)

Cons

Unrealistic expectations from VPs to come in evenings and weekends to meet unrealistic release goals made my management, only to cut features to make the release date. This happens with every release. Very noisy atmosphere that makes it difficult to work.
