Pros

1. Good work life balance. 2. Good work. 3. Good compensation. 4. Has a great retention rate. 5. Feel proud to work for this company.

Cons

1. Management is very slow. 2. Too many constraints for developers as you cannot simply download any software or even a jar. You have to get the approvals to download even a single jar. (This is in place due to all the security threats even a small virus may pose, so you can't really blame the company.)

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
