Pros

Work is interesting. Close to Home.

Cons

Force to work in office. 95% of what I do is with remote location employees... Yet upper management likes to waste money on un needed office space. Upper Management micro manages lower level management. Lower level Managers have no control over the simplest of decisions... Even though work is getting done. Many management changes in the 2 years I have been there.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
