I've heard lots of good things about Principal and it has lived up to expectations.

Good benefits, but I didn't negotiate my initial salary and wouldn't increase in the first year.

Pros

Principal offers unlimited time off

Cons

Company does not promote from within. If you want to move up in the company (or even move laterally to another department), don’t expect anything more than standardized emails saying you didn’t get the job.
