Pros

Decent salary. Unlimited PTO. Ample work-life balance and work-from-home opportunities. A mission most people can get behind. Mostly nice people.

Cons

Only one lousy health insurance option, unless you're in Sunnyvale. No unified culture. Each office is its own little nation. Bad integration plan. Typical blue-skying executive committee that is all insincere optimism. New P/E owners have ridic expectations. Planners/advisors are not the cream of the crop. No strategic alliances with CPAs, trust attorneys, etc to be that fully holistic provider EFE claims to be. Cult of personality.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
