Pros

There is free snacks in the kitchen. Flexible work hours.

Cons

It is impossible to get a decent pay raise or promotion. I was told by many "senior" level people that if I want to get more money, then I should leave the company. That is a horrible way to treat staff. We've had over 16 people quit for the past 2 months because senior level people would rather let them go than promote within.
