Pros

Strong culture of integrity, doing what's right, great people to work with, career development opportunities.

Cons

Base pay seems lower than peers. At higher levels career advancement is difficult. Don't feel contributions are recognized; sometimes feel taken for granted.

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.
