      Pros

      Office culture is great. A supportive, team-driven work environment. Mission driven. Great benefits, competitive salaries, and generous PTO policy.

      Cons

      Leadership has extremely high expectations. A pro for many, a con for some who prefer a more laid-back environment.

      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.

      Great mission, spotty implementation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great offices, generous benefits including a very good 403(b) plan. It is a not for profit, so the pay is okay, but you won't get rich. Co-workers are generally very smart and personable. Opportunities for Professional Development abound if you can take the time away from your heavy work load. CEO is personable and an outstanding face of the company.

      Cons

      Nearly everyone is a Director, Associate Director or Vice President, i.e. too many chiefs and not enough indians. While the CEO is outstanding, some members of Senior Leadership and their staffs are out of their depth. Projects with lofty goals are started without considering how to reach them, then the goals are changed on a whim. Some departments seem to be wildly overstaffed with people who don't appear to do much of anything, while others are chronically understaffed. Management is incredibly secretive, making employees uneasy about their positions thus affecting morale.
