Pros

Amazing Projects, Open collegiate culture (I think this has changed in the last few years), helpful friendly colleagues, good benefits (eg 3pm finish on Summer Fridays)

Cons

We work in a deadline driven industry which sometimes requires late nights. Again, I understand this situation to be much better than in the past.
