Pros

Flexible work schedule Work from home available up to 2 days per week 9/80 work schedule

Cons

Leadership can be very unorganized at times with many groups taking a "wing it and clean it up later" approach. Salaries vary widely for engineers in different groups among the company with the same qualifications. You really have to make sure you're in a group that upper management deems "important."

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
