Pros

Good company to work. Interaction with executive leadership is a major change that I have seen in this company. Lot of effort is taken by executive leadership to communicate the short and long term goals of the company which I see is very postive. My manager is also very helpful and supportive.

Cons

There are none at this time. Hopefully it stays so for a long time to come.
