Pros

REI is a gem along the beltway. I have worked at a number of different tech companies in the area and few can match this place. The grants work we do is incredibly impactful and it's typical to work very flexible hours - which is great for me and my family. I also enjoy the team I work - very friendly and reliable - along with the benefits of bagels, ping pong and Xboxes in the game room.

Cons

The company is growing pretty fast and it is hard to know folks outside of your team. More should be done at the company or project team level.

Pros

Ceo is good. Good benefits. 401k, medical plan is good. Decent pto policy. Wfh and remote work policies are good You get to work on mission critical systems and can see impact.

Cons

There is no respect of your personal time. Some dev/delivery Managers have no engineering background except of a degree and they cannot offer solutions. Hence, the dependency on team is so high for every little thing. Folks higher up in the chain engage in activities that violate code of conduct and ethics. Work spouse are common place here. Some people are home grown and in leadership positions and do not know how to handle crisis, and large programs. Some leaders get to move around easily when they cannot handle work complexity, and pressure and due to this genuine folks have to suffer (in short rules bend behind scenes) (open bias). Leadership will stand for their favorites [bias] and save them even after failing to deliver and innumerable customer escalations. Few architects shout and believe they know it all.
