Very relaxed dress code, (I knew the execs had an important meeting when they wore socks) frequent company lunches, random celebrations such as ice cream on the first day of summer.
Cons
Silo city. I had no idea what the other departments did. While that (apparently) wasn't necessary to do my job, it was frustrating not to have the big picture.
