Pros

In technical/dev roles you get to work with some really dedicated and talented people. Corporate Legal was the most ethical/professional legal team I've encountered in my professional career.

Cons

HR was demonstrably against internal promotions to the point of being vindictive. The talent that stayed were clearly not staying for the pay. I worked with a number of people that quit and re-applied to get a position with a competitive salary. I left when when literally every offer was a substantial pay raise.

Pros

Good balance between work and family.. A lot of vacation days per year plus additional vacation days upon request of you need to care about your family. Company cares about remote workers. They provide you all you need for remote working.

Cons

Your career is not clear. Not competitive salary in some regions.
