      Pros

      Incredibly smart, respectful, diverse colleagues; little to no political drama or fractiousness (that I've experienced so far); very fair compensation and decent benefits; fairly flat management structure, at least on the GTG side you have a good chance to have contact with every level of the organization; a company deeply and truly committed to doing right by both internal and customer users and employees, and willing to both put their money where their mouth is, along with their people, and time, and effort. Willing to do the hard work to do things right. They are also strongly committed to keeping good people by giving many opportunities to move laterally across teams and departments in the company. The automatic 401k contribution (not a match, they put in 6% regardless of whether or not you contribute anything) is gold.

      Cons

      There really aren't many. Forward career growth is, as anywhere, limited to available positions in the levels above you (but they do want and try to recognize people wherever possible). Holidays and vacation benefits are below the industry standard, especially since the pandemic; there are 6-7 company holidays per year, unlike past places I've worked with 12-13 plus several floating holidays and wellness days. Coupled with a finite PTO system (reasonably fair), it leads to less time off than I am used to, which can be hard for family life.
