Not Great, Not Terrible.

Pros

A good place to learn the trade. You will be exposed to a variety of technologies in a relaxed environment. Environment is faster paced than Apple or a Credit card company, but slower than a prop shop or Mozilla. Quarterly feature rollouts with bi-weekly prod deployments. Good Benefits including: Pension, 401k 6% match, Dental, Medical with Wellness, Vision (covers sunglasses too), Tuition Reimbursement 100%, Onsite Gym, Pet Insurance, Life Insurance, D&D Insurance (Short and Long term), Credit Monitoring and Bonus (Cash + RSU). Ability to also buy RSUs at discount. Excellence awards (1-off cash bonus) exist, but are rare.

Cons

Limit opportunities for advancement unless you find the right manager. Manager with low recognition will get no promotion chits, bonus share or RSUs to distribute down to their employees regardless of actual employee performance. If you are split between a people and project manager, expect an average review with average bonus and no RSUs regardless of effort. Reviews are secretive and peer based with little transparency other than the telephone game from your manager. There is also something called calibration, which is a round table of all managers fighting for promotion slot against others.

Pros

Excellent office culture with supportive management team; Clear track for career progression - hard workers and those who strive to better the surveillance program are rewarded with regular promotions and raises; Day to day work is dynamic and exciting (no single day is the same); benefits are far above average and PTO plans are very generous; work-life balance is unbeatable, something that is very difficult to find in this industry

Cons

I can't think of one.
