Pros

Decent folks below executive level

Cons

Loyalty rewarded with layoff over time regardless of work product. You truly are just a number tied to your salary. Make more and risk of getting let go increases. Insane culture when you think about it.

Not much to note for cons, but internal systems could use an update (I believe it's in the works).

Thank you for your comments. I agree with all your points. Great products and a supportive environment but many of our internal systems are dated. We are kicking off an initiative to improve our HR systems starting shortly with an early 2018 go live.
