Pros

It's a corporate job. If you get the job and look productive, no one will wonder if you're pulling your weight.

Cons

The Senior Leadership will throw you to the wolves and lie about it. We get accurate updates on how the business is doing from Quarterly earnings because all other updates are "we have a solid business model". They choose to lay off people to replace them with overseas contractor. That is not "putting people first" or "doing the right things" Promotions are based on who you know, not what you contribute.

Pros

- The best work-life balance company I've ever worked for - Emphasis of a great work culture brought from the top down - Embraces innovation and ability to work with new tech - Excellent co-workers and team dynamics

Cons

- Base pay is decent, and they typically do make the annual bonuses however the stock incentives are lacking when compared to other tech companies. - Medical plans are higher priced, (without more coverage) than what I was used to
