Pros

- flexible work policies ... like work from home, and work hours around meetings (but this depends highly on direct manager). - great learning opportunities via access to OReilly and Udemy. - some really nice people. - nice contractors.

Cons

- inadequate employee support, protection and dispute management. - unfair performance review framework (company-wide supported SMART framework, but in my line, it wasn't followed). - manager negatively talking about other employees behind their backs. - poor argumentation framework as far as challenging the status quo is concerned and dispute communication. - signs of ostracization upon differences. - managers in my line didn't make me feel empowered to take more responsibilities and show me a clear path to grow.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Decent benefit.

Cons

They don't pay you much. They don't treat engineers as profession. They think engineers are all the same and can swap any of them them with joiner engineers or contractors. They thought they can hire a contractor for 4 months for a project. They took a full month to get a laptop for a contractor, took one more month to get them through onboarding, then took one more month to get them use to the codebase, then the contractor wrote one line, then the 4 months was up. We had to repeat the process with a new contractor.
