Pros

The benefit is really good: free lunch, good insurance plan and flexible benefits.

Cons

Each team will have a 3-5-2 compulsory performance review distribution. So if you are a technical staff member, please remember: the VOICE of your project matters, your POSITION in your leader's subconscious matters, while technical skills are not that important.
