Pros

Really good compensation package in my humble opinion. Good ability to work remote if you want to stick in one area. Great ability to move around in the company.

Cons

There are never enough people and they tend to go back on what they say during the interview. E.g. "Fully Remote" changed to "Hybrid" or "If the business needs change, you have to move at your own expense or it is considered voluntary resignation"

Pros

Principal offers unlimited time off

Cons

Company does not promote from within. If you want to move up in the company (or even move laterally to another department), don’t expect anything more than standardized emails saying you didn’t get the job.
