Pros

They treat their engineers with respect, Pay them well, Give them plenty of freedom, First and foremost they care about their customers, they aren't obsessed with being the "cool" tech company. Their only expectation is that you perform to the level to which you are compensated.

Cons

Some people get very passionate about their work which can lead to unnecessary friction at times You really are a saleried employee, they expect your best and you to work till the job is done... Which means don't over promise or you will be working overtime.
