Pros

The company is full of really bright, dedicated people in all departments. There is a 9/80 schedule with an option to work hybrid in some departments. Some departments also allow even more flexibility. Pay is pretty good in most departments except Finance salaries and promotions are difficult to achieve.

Cons

Leadership is old fashioned and tends to get in its own way. You can tell they don't like hybrid schedules but they were losing too many people to not offer some type of flexibility. Finance leadership is unfortunately lacking in vision and loyal to their employees. Don't accept a position or pay for a dime less than what you are worth because they will consistently lowball your pay, despite asking you to do more work. Finance also has a retention issue, so every time someone leaves, you get stuck with extra work and training new hires. It's a leadership failure cycle that never ends.

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
