Pros

- You get to work with latest technologies, engineers are given freedom. - Remote work, and you are working on field of education, that too in field of stepping stone(college entrance) for upcoming professionals. - Frequent one on one with managers, and managers care about you. - Colleagues are pretty kind and are there to help. - Benefits are pretty good, we get total 37 days + holidays off (20 vacation + 10 sick + 7 day end of year off). We get 10% match on 403(b) - Engineering team is trying to innovate and bring new tech in.

Cons

- Salary can be better as we can't have stock options, I know we try to compensate for it through generous 403(b) contribution, but a decent increase would be beneficial.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
