Pros

The food, some of the people, somewhat cool product with niche market.

Cons

Lack of product vision and inability to make effective, bold decisions without reams of data (a.k.a lack of commons sense). This place is full of bureaucrats and needs to be pared back another 10-20%. Not sure how the leadership let the employee population grow beyond its means but it clearly is a case of inept functional leaders. Don't be one of unfortunate victims of a future layoff. Look at other companies with more solid business models and effective leadership. This place is full of bureaucrats who make life miserable for the entrepreneurial folks in the company.
