Pros

Great Benefits Excellent Coworkers CEO with a plan Good technology A choose your own adventure career path, which can be a pro but also can be a con. Good for go getters

Cons

Average salary Like most jobs, your satisfaction depends highly on what group you are assigned. No formal career path / hierarchy leaves the potential for stagnation

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
