Pros

Honorable company, with a neat and organized work environment facilities and welfare, as expected from a company this size. No monkey business here.

Cons

Management is frequently opaque, with actions taken having often little to do with employees' feedback. Basic compensation is below average. There are bonuses (AKA short-term incentives), but no guarantees you'll get them, so you can eventually find yourself with hardly anything beyond a below-average compensation. Professionally, I found the work to be insipid, having little to no potential for personal advancement.

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
