I always feel at home coming into the office.
Great culture and generally a pleasant place to be.
As an engineer, there is a good amount of challenge.
Cons: The culture can lead to long work hours. It's mostly because people are passionate about what they do, but it can make it feel like late nights are expected, even if they're not.
