Pros

Decent compensation and benefits, remote opportunities, good people in middle management

Cons

Senior leadership is completely out of touch and is more good-ol'-boy than it might seem from the outside. The company exists for the benefit of the owner's family's trust, so any effort to make things better is completely subservient to "shareholder value". There is typically a complete reorganization every year, which causes unnecessary anxiety, waste, and cost, but is the only way people seem to have vertical advancement. No comprehensive plan to retain or develop talent. HR is NOT on your side.

Pros

Very happy with compensation and benefits, especially 401k. The people were mostly a joy to work with.

Cons

The CEO had some disgusting moments, and can't move on from his days in the military. It's an obsession of his. He's openly insensitive to the the LGBT community. As for the day-to-day, you'll likely just be doing busy work because workflows are screwed beyond measure. Actual impact doesn't matter here, no matter how much they try to convince you that it does.
