Pros

Good benefits and people. Overall, the culture used to be great. Company invests in your growth.

Cons

After IPO management got more "corporate". Some decisions/changes being made feel abrupt and without a thorough research/implementation plan. Which leads to scrambling to resolve issues post factum.
