Cons
For a mid-size enterprise it's a bit of a challenge to figure out who's who and who owns what. This is mitigated to an extent by team members assistance in navigating a complex organizational structure.
- Great work/life balance - Collaborative work environment - Great place to start as a software engineer out of college
Cons
- Pay is not as competitive as other software companies but the work/life balance really makes up for it
