Pros

If you're one of the chosen few or good at looking busy you will do great. If you are a hard worker this company will eat you alive. Remote options available during covid

Cons

Management at all levels Lacking resources or people to effectively complete projects. Everyone is stressed and has enough work for a whole team to complete. Pay/ benefits not competitive Too much politics for a company this size No vision, leadership bounces from one idea to the next. Nothing done the right way, always patch jobs No transparency

Pros

It's a good place to get some experience for a better paying company. I'm not sure this is good for a mid-career type. The company has a good mission.

Cons

Mediocre salary. 401k match is sort of a joke.
