Pros

Very progressive culture. Feels very inclusive. People I've worked with are good at what they do and care about the mission. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Slow to promote. Stuck at bottom of my pay band. Dev and QA, and Data teams are all from a pool of contractors so someone can roll off your project and you won't even know it till they stop going to meetings. Loss of knowledge because everything is contracted out. Lots of paperwork (SOWs) to fill out to get people to work on your product/project.
