Pros

Smart, dedicated employees. Interesting projects and, depending on your manager, there can be great room to grow and develop professionally. Okay in terms of competitive pay, especially when you advocate for yourself.

Cons

The support staff isn't always firing on all cylinders. Benefits are the bare minimum. The decent health insurance plan has a very high monthly premium. Parental leave policy is among the worst in our industry.
