Pros
My previous job (where I worked for far too long) was very stuffy and corporate-y, and the vast majority of my long-time colleagues hated the place due to rampant politics and overall mismanagement...and so getting laid off from that ambition-killing, soul-drainer of an employer was a blessing in disguise because it led me to Tryon Solutions.
Tryon has a well-earned reputation in their space, which is supply chain companies that sell and service Warehouse Management Software (WMS), and I like being amongst the talented folks that bolster that reputation. I very rarely see politics, and the few shameless politickers I've seen either left on their own or were drummed out. Most arguments are ultimately about ideas and direction, rather than political maneuvering or other power struggles.
Tryon Solutions is a small company and while this means you are sometimes called upon to wear multiple hats, it also results in more easily getting things done without a bureaucracy and/or departmental politics getting in the way. The work culture is healthy and family-focused, and this begins at hiring. You can also usually get off work on-time and, outside of an emergency or two that warranted extra hours, I haven't seen a situation where there was undue pressure to stay late. Sometimes we get people that are new to the technical side of the WMS world, and they aren't thrown to the dire wolves on day one but instead go through an internal training program which amply prepares them to work on customer projects.
If you are an experienced WMS engineer looking for family time or if you have a solid technical mind and are in the market to start a supply chain execution career, I recommend giving Tryon Solutions a look.
Cons
They don't pay top-dollar (so in-turn you don't work "top-dollar hours") and like anywhere loaded with talented technical folks there are a few grizzled WMS veterans you will have to go out of your way to "earn your stripes" with on certain teams.
