Pros

Great people, and projects. Good culture despite pandemic. Artistic and challenging. Great for the resume... but why would I leave?

Cons

Do to the sensitivity of our projects there is a lack of transparence that could use some improvement. Feels a little isolating and stifles growth. Coworkers don't want to return to the office. Cost of living in the area is rough.
