Pros

Good work life balance, good experience and breadth of projects when there is work, private company is good since they will rarely lay you off and will continue to throw money at projects for them to succeed. There are a lot of great people here to work with and learn from.

Cons

Slim benefits, management is not flexible with WFH/COVID, huge disparity between people that do work and those that are just collecting paychecks.
