Pros

Bonuses are good.

Good company discounts, etc.

Cons

Horrible working environment. It resembles a sweatshop.

You will be shoulder to shoulder with 5 people, constantly yapping and talking on their phones. Inflexible management does not care about their employees.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the ridiculous open-plan environment for folks that need privacy. You will lose high-caliber talent like me otherwise. Today, I quit because of the bad work environment.
