Pros

You get to experience all the fun and innovative new products first hand and see how they are produced. Great benefits.

Cons

Recognition came in the form of a "great team card"-a piece of paper. Difficulty for advancement. Extremely needy social and "coffee" oriented culture. I felt as though work was an afterthought for the employees some days, lots of down time. Lots of discussion, less doing. Large gap between non-exempt and exempt employees. Feedback oriented culture, more focused on the negative feedback than the positive. Felt extremely under-appreciated in an entry level position.
