Pros

Good compensation. Focused on trying to make this tight industry work. The workload is pretty light. Bonus is great as long as the bar has been passed.

Cons

No meritocracy, insular culture on both the legacy sides. Tops down decision making leaves no room for innovation let alone incremental improvement. Leaders think they know everything.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
