Pros

Most management really cares about the people. Work-life balance is priority. Lays off are absolute last resort, really. Smart people to work with, challenging problems to solve.

Cons

Consensus-driven decisions slow things down. Competitive, ambitious types sometimes eventually burn out from lack of large performance bonuses. R&D department is favored over anyone else, and it shows.

Pros

Great culture, great focus on work/life balance. People are treated as professionals. Good long term planning and very honest communication from senior leadership.

Cons

Salary is actually becoming a bit of a joke. Other companies know that NI underpays and uses that to their advantage. Benefits used to be pretty good but little by little, they are going downhill (i.e. copays increasing to a % versus flat rate)
