Pros

Food. Lots of food and some beer. Convenient to trains. Did I mention food? Oh, yes, and the food. Lot's of food, which is great because you can't find the time to go home.

Cons

Nepotism, cronyism, cold-blooded CTO with little talent and a huge ego, an HR Department that enables the maniacal CTO, not-so-bright-rich-kid CEO more obsessed with interior design than managing his CTO, noisy, and endless hours of boring work.
