Pros

Very strong culture, and people that can't fit in are normally rejected like a virus. Generally, good people are listened to. If you are good at what you do from a technical standpoint, you will be valued. Bonus pool is good. A good results for company is good for the employees.

Cons

Very strong culture, and if you don't fit you will be unhappy. Health care plan is very poor at the 6K deductible for a family for Blue Cross.

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
