Pros
- Very little to no micro managing (don't abuse it!). - Interesting projects for those hoping to apply what they learned in school. - Easy to get a hold of upper management. - Good transparency (monthly and quarterly meetings). - Lots of free food. - Company gym. - Flex time off.
Cons
None really. If you're having issues you're probably hindering yourself. Work hard, be assertive, and you'll get far!

"Staff Engineer"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Mentor Graphics full-time
Pros
Good environment for deep technical work in computer science.
Cons
You need to be self-driven and define your own career development plans and education. They help with class reimbursement, but not so much with helping you plan.

Pros
Good vacation, culture, work life balance

Doesn't seem to be much room for advancement or incentive to do a really good job. Pay is just ok and raises are marginal.
Advice to Management
Reward high performing employees more, either through bonuses, stock, or promotion/raises.
