Pros

Very successful, well-established, privately held company. Good work-life balance - work ends at the end of the work day and it's rare to take work home. Competitive pay and decent benefits (e.g. 23 days PTO to start, and all federal holidays off).

Cons

They are requiring employees to work in the office full-time starting 9/1, and the CEO and VPs don't seem like they will budge. Almost every employee I've talked to is not happy with this, and I know of at least ten people who have already left the company on that basis alone. I myself will probably resign at the end of the year if they have not updated their archaic policies. Additionally, they are trying to hire a lot of people at the moment and will not be able to do so if they continue to disallow remote work. There are plenty of companies that offer comparable pay and benefits that will allow employees to work from wherever they are comfortable. Lower/middle management is feeling this burden hard, and upper management does not seem to be listening to their concerns. To add insult to injury, the company requires a business casual dress code (e.g. no denim or shorts allowed), the only tech company I've heard of to do so, which makes going into the office even less enticing.
