Pros

Excellent parental leave policy. Really enforces work-life balance related policies. Great work culture. Compensation is on par or above market value. A lot of leadership came up from the ranks therefore leadership team is very knowledgeable and understanding of the problems encountered by the rank-and-file employees

Cons

Hard to leave company. Was originally planning to stay for only 6 months, but still with the company after more than 10 years.
