Pros

Management cares about the people under them and the company cares about the people it hires. Work/life balance is supported, trust among peers is evident. Camaraderie, friendship, company culture make the days go by easy.

Cons

Legacy code-base makes innovation difficult. Projects have more overhead than production. Organization structure discourages teamwork. Very rare to work on a project your proud of.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
