Pros

Pay well and have decent benefits.

Cons

Leadership says jump and you need to say how high. The amount of whiplash on priorities and reorg changes from leadership was crazy. Also have an unlimited PTO policy but will ask questions if you start taking more than 3 weeks off even though there is no recommended amount of time off for you to benchmark against.
