Pros

Amazingly passionate & talented people, inspiring vision, free food + other great perks, fun culture. Lots of job opportunity if you're comfortable stepping up to the plate / earn trust quickly / like ambiguity / are a self-starter.

Cons

Lack of execution from C-level & middle management, very few non-homogenous / diverse teams, severe lack of resources & support (when I left, I was doing the volume of work we had 3 ppl to do at this same time last year, but my compensation wasn't raised; makes it near-impossible to do anything well).

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
