Pros

Nice people, 9x80 schedule, they generally care about employees, usually good work- life balance. Moderate pay to start, but very small increases there after.

Cons

HR leadership is completely ineffective, unavailable, don't allow their highly capable teams to make any decisions, and they hold on to actions and requests for many many weeks. They don't communicate (HR employees are seemingly always the last to know what's going on). We are on the mid to low end of pay, no career development. Reports to legal, who have minimal employment law background and won't engage with HR but many actions have to go through them.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
