Pros

Great pay and benefits (especially the company 401K match), free company trips, paid lunch and company-provided breakfast daily and interesting research topics.

Cons

The staff seems like a cult worshipping the company's philanthropic leader. What a weird group of people (there were a few exceptions). And add to that the camera surveillance was the most intense I've ever seen. One employee, in particular, was annoying and a constant nuisance.
