Pros

Currently feels stable. Coworkers tend to be more competent than other places I've worked. Resources are there to do some interesting work, although does take some work to secure them. Benefits are solid overall, although base salary and annual stock bonus is a bit lower than competition in my experience. If stock price rises in the future, that may help, but it just seems to be taking a beating so far.

Cons

There is opportunity for improvement with culture and workload balance. The high degree of accountability (which is a good thing overall) combined with low desire for collaboration between groups makes for a slightly unpleasant culture, although it seems to be moving in the right direction. Workload, on the other hand, is moving in the wrong direction as leadership is rightfully focused on driving every bit of growth possible. The teams are pretty burnt out.

Pros

The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

Cons

Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
