Get to work on latest technologies. PTO, Sick leaves, 401K is decent. Max 3K, upto 50% of employee contribution.

Cons

Micro-management. Get ready to work after office hours. 8 hours job is not sufficient. Degree of Arrogance / Unit of Achievement is Very High in some managers. Lack of transparency. False promises. Favoritism. Attitude is Achievements are because if managers. Failures are because of subordinates.

Pros

Decent work life balance, great coworkers

Cons

Little room for advancement - 1 actual promotion and 2 “lateral” promotions in 10 years despite consistent exemplary, goal-exceeding performance and increased responsibilities. Ultimately my loyalty was rewarded by being informed that the following quarter there would be a surprise transfer to move me to another team in a specialist role that “was not open to discussion.” After weeks of trying to get answers as to the expectations and success metrics for this (alleged) new role, I was laid off as part of a “restructuring” - supposedly because I “lacked seniority” in the “new role” I’d been forced to take.
