Pros

You get the feeling of grad school, flexibility and you work with smart stimulating people.

Cons

The compensation and salary are mediocre, if you include inflation your salary increases by 1.5% after years of work. Promotions are not merit base, they are pressure base. As a young talented engineer I will leave as soon as my GC is cleared.

Pros

Work-life balance is nice. Fellow colleagues are friendly and helpful. Work environment is healthy in almost all aspects.

Cons

The pay is a bit lower than tech companies. But as long as you don't crave for pay that much, it's a decent job to stay in.

Pros

Great work life balance Truly unlimited PTO Friendly coworkers who are willing to help you learn the software and proprietary tools My manager is very hands-on -- management is mostly past engineers so they are also very qualified

Cons

Almost all proprietary and in-house tools
