Pros

Promoted benefits and work life balance. Usually low stress fun and interesting work. The people are great, some of the best I have ever worked with.

Cons

Most "benefits" are at the discretion of the reining DE. Pay sucks so benefits are what get and keep people. They don't tell you that while they are trying to reel you in but it's unlikely you get to use them. No support for people who join TAPs. Good luck finishing that engineering degree, working and seeing your family. A lot of upper management dislike telework and do not support wellness programs. I feel like they publish these offerings to counter bad publicity but do not walk the line.
