Pros

Work life balance is possible at this company. Management is not overbearing, and I feel like I am able to take ownership of the work I am given. Management is hard-working, sets a good example to the staff.

Cons

The company seems very tight with expenses...no free coffee...not very many company sponsored events etc. The office environment could be a little more social. Advancement may take longer than other companies.

Pros

A broad range of projects and skill sets to work on and build. Fair support to have a decent work life balance.

Cons

Salaries do not seem to be decided based as much on how skilled the person as how well the person negotiates. Seems like it takes ages to get promoted from one Band to another, if working on long-term projects.
