Pros

- Friendly co-workers - Excellent response from CEO during covid ( no lay-offs, pay cuts) - Lots of outside of work resources for employees (benefit wise) during covid

Cons

- Bad management/leadership - There is no well defined process to do anything. You really learn EVERYTHING at this company by making mistakes/ Everything is a mess - Very stressful working environment. Leadership will keep pushing you to do this and that but provide you a little to no resource. Very low work/life balance.

Pros

Great people. Good starting pay, bonus plan, 401k match. PTO is encouraged (at least by my direct management and others). Many company holidays and a Christmas shutdown that makes taking 2 weeks off very easy (using some PTO days). Lots of interesting work and projects. Lots of opportunity to be part of different project phases and responsibilites.

Cons

Lean teams means you're likely juggling more than what's preferred/reasonable. Changing priorities can make closing out tasks difficult. Annual salary increases around 3-5% are reasonable but can be underwhelming given the amount of work and stress the job typically requires. Never recieved any market adjustment (while other local companies have), larger than expected salary increases, or anything that shows above average employee appreciation regarding pay.
