Pros

The coffee used to be free...but there are plans to charge for it (7M /y savings apparently) . There is nothing like a small saving. It is a great company (as in terms of smart people hanging around there) if you do like to drink coffee as if you do want to last in there you will need to spend about 50% of your "working" time networking...meaning drinking coffee...might be tricky once they make you pay for it.

Cons

Think about your health first...they will make you believe you help saving lives but they will not give a damn about yours.
