Pros

The teams are very collaborative all coworkers are great to work with. Pay is competitive. Company is still small enough you can push for changes.

Cons

401k match is just bad 1500 max, This used to be made up for by rsu’s and stock purchase program. since going private those do not exist. New ceo has a “belief” working in office is better so they’re enforcing in office work, after allowing remote work for years.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
