Pros

I loved the work I did (so interesting and meaningful) and the coworkers I worked with. People were very nice.

Cons

Little room for employee growth (practically no employee development offerings); poor work-life balance (I used to get on Skype at 11:00 pm and see that every level of staff was back online working; personally I didn't get paid enough to work that hard); left and got paid more by another employer

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
