Pros

1. Lot of small things like friday lunch and learns, special interest groups ,weekly comic strips, ping pong, mini library, bowling nights etc. make it a fun place to work at. 2. Natural lighting all day. Most comfortable chairs. outdoor seating. Nap rooms. One of the best offices I have seen. 3. Being a small-mid sized company, the rate at which things move are really fast without any Bureaucracy 4. Work satisfaction. I have a lot of freedom to design/present algorithms and to implement them. 5. Importance given to work ownership. Trusted me with clients and let me handle their developments few months after I started full time. 6. Challenging work. Very few companies work with this level of challenging problems in Operations research.

Cons

I cannot think of any big cons to put down here. One minor thing I can think of is the location of its US office. Gainesville does not have big city perks like that of San Fransisco or even Austin

Pros

Free lunch and Winter break.

Cons

This is a 'Lala' company where the CEO treats his employees as servants. They have to either fall in line or move out. He is not open to ideas. It is his way or the highway. His 2 kids are in executive roles and do NOT add any value. This is dying company with absolutely no future,
