Pros

The benefits plan is hard to beat - retirement contributions and match plans, affordable health plan choices, generous paid time off and paid holidays. PLTW values education and offers professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement. The President and CEO sets the tone for leadership by being highly engaged in the work of the organization and truly values people at every level. As a rapidly growing company, there is a lot of work to contribute and many exciting projects happening. This company is growing very quickly, so you have to enjoy change and be open to learning new ways of working.

Cons

I enjoy fast pace so it's not really a con for me, but some just might prefer a slower or more predictable pace.
