Pros

Decent pay, some very fun times, excellent colleagues, open source spirit, good reputation, respect in the industry, good customers, free hat.

Cons

Questionable, sometimes bizarre decisions from product management and upper management; heavy favouritism; lot's of politics, even in low level jobs; terrible tools!
