Pros

The 401k matching is really terrific, and the health insurance options are very nice. The people here are very nice, and most of them are very helpful with any questions. The hours are flexible (work extra one day to leave early another, start anytime between 7-9 and work until 4-6, etc.), which makes it much easier to take a little time off at odd times for family and such. The atmosphere is very relaxed aside from some times around deadlines. No parking hierarchy, just first-come, first-served for parking spots (and there is even a parking garage). They allow short notice for time off, though they prefer at least a week or so.

Cons

Many positions sort of expect more than 40 hours per week, though it isn't explicitly required.

Pros

Great coworkers. Highly skilled subset of people within. Good benefits

Cons

Not much available for advancement. A lot of hoops to go through to get to the next level of your job, some unobtainable because of the length of project time and time of year advancements go through. Raises are laughable at best, and have rarely beat inflation.
