Pros

Easy to change career path if you feel you are on the wrong path. Very nice and friendly people, good corporate culture. Employees have a lot of freedom of working when they want to, where they want to. Strong respected brand.

Cons

Very bad salary raises compared to other companies, a bit of a cult-like feeling, the very best individuals who contribute most value don't get any recognition.

Pros

I do not know. The value of brand-recognition is yet to be proven, if you know what I mean.

Cons

1. Pay revision. My PBC rating has been 2 for 2 years straight. But I got 0% in the first year and +1.7% this year! Inflation was 7.5% last month! 2. "cross-training" being trumpeted wanting to make Jacks out of everyone. I know this helps the company to make more money by making us do more work with the same headcount but please be reasonable. Only experts make big bucks and I want to be an expert - whether you like it or not.
