Pros

Everyone across the company is very nice, welcoming, and helpful. There are some rock stars and industry leaders that are doing excellent work. There is good work life balance, there is rarely a request to work overtime.

Cons

They're not very open to a hybrid or fully remote work schedule. There is no end of year bonuses and spot bonus do not occur very frequently and are quite small. Typical year end merit based salary increases ranged from 2%-4% in 2021.

Pros

Fun projects to work on. Lots of push to make yourself better.

Cons

Long story short is that if you don’t go way out of your way for licenses and certifications, you become less marketable and they will lay you off. I didn’t pass my PE exam, they used that against me by first giving me essentially no salary increase at the end of the year then laid me off the next year. I didn’t even have the chance to retake the exam because it was cancelled due to covid. You need to suck up in order to move up
