Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, creative energy, working around smart people everywhere. You'll work at a true industry leader, and they have that reputation for good reason. Great chances to impact whatever fields your career touches on.

Cons

Management can be disorganized and / or slow to respond to changes in the business. Treatment of contract and temporary workers seems slightly predatory in the sense that they employ you totally at will, and can string hopeful people along for months at a time. Symptomatic of being at the top I guess, they can have their pick of employees in many fields.

Pros

I was fully remote, learned so much from a great group of peers, the union is strong and active, pay was fair

Cons

The federal funding saga put a damper on morale, but that was pretty outside of the scope of what my team/manager could control.

Cons

soulless and corporate, management is all-powerful, benefits are slowly disappearing, few career prospects unless you fit a certain "profile"
