Pros

Lots of small employee appreciation events that help break up the day. Clean, open office. Great 401k plan.

Cons

Newer policies essentially discourage personal relationships of any type. Any behavior that is not 'workplace appropriate' is also banned at any social event no matter how unrelated to work. This generates an uptight culture and is not great for those of us who move here and plan to make friends at work.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
