Pros

Benefits are fairly solid with up to 4% match on 401k contributions. Their bonus program is weak for level 1 and 2 employees. 4 weeks vacation (160hrs). Which is great. Flexibility to switch teams due to the size of engineering projects. They give a nice raise every year between 1.8%-3.5%

Cons

There is an overarching sense of security or keeping things secure, it makes sense why but it's a pressure you don't realize is there until you think about it. They have no clear defined path for promotion, you just have to perform and hope your manager is in a good mood. This isn't the case every time but it's definitely the case.

Pros

Benefits are great. Work was open an fulfilling, when allowed to work. Happy with program I supported.

Cons

Management has a hard time filtering whining, tantrums, and opinions from professional well thought-out paths forward. They are more interested in getting the work done quickly as opposed to well. Too many times the wishes of junior or unprofessional staff were placated.
