Pros

Great place to start a career, but you have to move on. I can't imagine staying with the company long term. The company seems to attract some of the best and brightest. It's great to have such intelligent, creative and committed coworkers.

Cons

Salaries tend to be on the low side compared to other companies. It's tough to retain the best and brightest employees when you aren't paying them as much as their peers who work elsewhere.
