Pros

Lots of opportunities. Company is growing and expanding product lines. Very diverse so there is no high dependency on any one product line

Cons

Rapid growth as caused chaos. Managers who do not know how to manage have been in their positions too long. Inefficiencies in the company make it hard to get things done quickly.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
