Pros: Employee Education Assistance Programs, Critical Health Coverage, Switch roles/careers, vacation options, impressive year-end hikes, health gyms within, great benefits, freedom for employees to do whichever and however they like, and be passionate, open & honest.

Cons: Work-life balance can get screwed if you are bad at planning yourself. Agility and uncertainty are expected as part of deliveries, so you must be prepared. Still, manager-pet things happen once in a while, which turns out too bad for deserving folks despite being more talented.
