      Pros

      It's slow paced. You get rewarded and recognized for doing your job. You get to work on innovative technology. There is a lot of expertise and resources within reach.

      Cons

      There's a million company processes and it's not really clear which ones I'm supposed to follow and when. The base pay is ok, but the bonuses and yearly raises are sub-par. The technology we get to work with is fascinating, but somehow between the culture, environment, and/or organizational structure, the work is completely boring and even soul crushing.

      Pros

      Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

      Cons

      Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
