Pros

Good salary and benefits, great environment and people, you can bring dogs to the office, lots of opportunities for learning, value-based company, good work-life balance.

Cons

Career development is highly dependent on the manager. Several managers intentionally block their direct reports' career growth, and this is particularly true for racial minorities. In consequence, there is high attrition in these groups. Some leaders are too focused on the what, no matter the how. Therefore, some very toxic behaviors and high individualism are prevalent, damping collaboration efforts.
