Pros

Team atmosphere, training (when available), and general culture are all good here.

Cons

Disconnected upper-management makes decisions that don't necessarily benefit the work being asked for. Recent layoffs for "financial reasons" across numerous teams places undue strain on remaining staff.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
