      Pros

      perks, culture, work life balance manage the perception of working hard and you can go far without doing a whole lot of work

      Cons

      unclear leadership direction or it is stated but not followed and if you are a leader you may get held back for upsetting the status quo

      Stable company, low to avg salary

      Pros

      Very stable employer... almost too much so as that tends to keep some dead weight around. They didn't micromanage in my dept, and let you drive your own projects.

      Cons

      Low to average salary. Sometimes too much red tape to getting small things done. They keep budgets very tight in order to try and hit a growth number in percentage that I've never seen them hit. This is what your company performance bonus is based off of. Little to no formal training is provided.

      Great place to start at

      Pros

      The projects are very interesting and enjoyable to work on. The benefits are good, and the opportunities to learn new things when you start are many. I get to wear shorts everyday and occasionally drink beer at work functions. Talk about nice culture. There are decent opportunities for career growth. The CEO, CFO, and other executives are pretty great. They've been able to weather two recessions now without any layoffs.

      Cons

      It seems like the company is currently going through some growing pains. I'm sure they will eventually work through it, but the company isn't really growing. Salary quickly falls behind the industry average after a few years of employment.
