      Pros

      free soda, free bagels, free snacks, high salaries, telecommuting

      Cons

      Unbelievably complex development environment with terrible documentation. To figure out how anything works requires a research project in itself. Everything is "tribal knowledge".

      Pros

      Great people but that may be team dependent.
