Pros

Good work life balance. THe 9/80 schedule is nice for people with families. Opportunities to work with some really smart people.

Cons

Bad management. They say they want feedback but then punish you for your opinions. They are cheap, they routinely pay 30% below the market value.

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
