Pros

Great Team! Great Leaders and awesome place to work !

Cons

There are no fixed work hours, which can lead to unpredictability in terms of when work needs to be done. While this offers flexibility, it also creates pressure to meet tight deadlines. As a result, employees may find themselves working late into the evening or over the weekend to complete tasks, which can negatively affect their work-life balance. The constant juggling of deadlines and hours can cause stress and make it difficult to maintain a consistent and healthy routine

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.
