Pros

One day a week to work at home. Good and affordable benefits program. Three floating holidays.

Cons

Culture needs work. Alot of siloes that making getting things done difficult at times. There is also a pattern of individuals not responding to or acting upon requests for information or assistance, and then the requester being held responsible for the lack of progress.
