Pros

Lots of engineers, and Directors that are passionate about Open Source Software. Opportunity to attend conferences at company's expense. Very little bureaucracy, and using Agile methodologies. Support for families, flexi-time, free fruit, and beer o'clock.

Cons

Lack of Team Leads in some teams, which can cause the direct manager having little contact with engineers as they're busy managing projects/systems. Lack of career advancement to a high level(one level jump is possible)
