Pros

Good pay, good benefits, great work/life balance and flexibility, really good PTO. Coworkers are friendly and helpful and first couple levels of management are very understanding and competent.

Cons

Been lots of leadership turnover and what's felt like 5 or 6 internal reorganizations. Leadership doesn't inspire tons of confidence and people can be concerned about layoffs. Raises are variable, some years goods, some years not. Structure and opportunities for advancement are vague.
