Pros

The core values of Ownership, Integrity, Bias for Action, Frugality, etc., are all things that I personally approve of and have known to work best for me. The culture of the company fits me very well.

In my 7 years, I have not worked on anything that was not of any use to anyone. Essentially, no work/time of mine was spent for nothing.

Managers and senior managers are invariably always demanding and challenging, and make you do more than what you would have done if left alone. To slightly lazy people like me, that is really helpful.

People above my level are invariably role models. They have amazing process, excellent communication and influencing skills, a very structured thought process, and are always focused on the customers.

Cons

For the work one does here, the money one gets is very low.
