Pros

Flexible schedule and the ability to take on projects that interest you.

Cons

Leadership is disconnected from the needs and concerns of engineers. The company culture is often bureaucracy first and engineering last.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
