Pros: Free bread, and some teams have good WLB.
Cons: Low pay, all offices are bare with little to no amenities, no room for growth, no marketable skills, and a bad PTO policy. There are 10 days a year no matter how long you stay here. There is rampant nepotism; they receive better benefits under the table.
