Pros
- you get to work with incredibly intelligent and driven people - responsibility and leadership opportunities are given to high performers rather than based on tenure - cost of living in Wisconsin is cheap - unique campus and office space - pay is good to very good depending on the hours you end up working
Cons
- difficult to have work/life balance and advance career at the same time - senior management is entrenched in old ways and is reactive once an employee is burned out rather than taking steps to prevent it - benefits need improvement: no paid maternity or paternity leave, 401k match is below average - little to no transparency in how raises and staffing assignments are decided - most TLs have no experience in management and little is done to give them real education/experience in this area - executive leadership often has ludicrous ideas on how to develop or create a process in-house rather than procuring software solutions or learning from how multinational corporations handle it - there is little investment in career development for employees there 2-3+ years
