Pros

Everyone is really kind and tries to be thoughtful about how they work together and interact. It's a very inclusive workplace that has a lot of room for folks to tailor their coworking style to what makes them most comfortable I'm very happy with the company culture and feel very secure that my work is what matters in my performance evaluation.

Cons

Lots of early career engineers and a ton of recent growth, so there's some wheel spinning on best practices that might be handled more easily with more senior direction

The company culture is great and unlike any other organization that I've been a part of. Your manager along with the HR team sets you up for success on day 1 by setting realistic expectations and making sure you feel like part of the family.

No match on the 401k plan
