Lots of options to move around and do different things, at least if you're willing to move to a bigger office.
Very much a team-based environment.
You are not coddled.
Good food provided at parties.
Nicest severance package I've had when laid off.
When working at a low level on the totem pole, there are about 9-10 levels of hierarchy between you and the CEO, meaning there are lots of levels of management for things to filter down. The crazy thing about this is that due to frequent reorganizations, there's not much point in getting to know management more than a few levels above your position.
I think the occasional status report from management a few levels above to those below, as to how well things are/are not going, would help employees have a better feel for their value in the organization as a whole and where they're going.
