Pros

Interesting field of work, variety of opportunities, great people, solid management, excellent base pay, bonus and benefits. Generally, a people culture, with sound principles.

Cons

A bit overworked, at times, a little office politics; mostly, for me, the rigidity of banded salaries, and annual review/promotions was the hardest aspect. Company needs to be move faster, be more competitive in the labor market. Company principles are sound but not espoused or practiced by all management layers.

Pros

Work can be very interesting, impactful, and everybody is (mostly) very kind and intelligent. They don't hire dumb people.

Cons

Truly insane there is no free food or drinks. Culture feels very stiff and sterile despite not being particularly formal. Hard to get a raise or promoted. If your business has a bad executive, your whole world suffers. Can be extremely relationship based in bad ways.
