Pros
Good culture. Good place to work. Great perks
Cons
Salaries are on lower end, as compared to market. Declining benefits. Management is not very interested in your personal growth. Mid year/yearly reviews are only one way, and most of the time your bonus is decided by higher management in your team, which sometimes leads to favoritism
