Pros

Great work/life experience with people who value their work at the company. Great to be with groups who have been at the company for many years.

Cons

Can be a little slow in growth but if you're willing to take the initiative, the company will definitely help put you on the right path.

Pros

Great work-life balance, ability to grow within the company if you don't mind moving to other locations based on job availability.

Cons

The leaders in the company have little experience and could take a step back and listen and appreciate the technical staff.
