Pros

big investments in people especially in benefits (fully paid healthcare), wants to win awards so are concerned about employee feedback, lots of cool technology and fun co-workers

Cons

Very incestuous - best way to get promoted is to be an FOP (friend of Paul, the CEO). Tyranny in the senior HR dept.
