Pros

the company supports healthy work life balance overall, caveat being that it really depends on your manager. most managers work out fine as the company does make an honest effort to ensure people would fit culturally prior to hiring. the people make up the culture and are by in large the biggest pro.

Cons

-i joined when the company was much smaller and the feeling of becoming a larger institution is definitely there. that said, in a perfect world this would create more opportunities. catch up here is clearly in order.

Pros

One of the best reasons is the flexibility. The management team is also good at communicating most of the important information to employees.

Cons

Not everyone is qualified to be in their current positions and with the market the way it's trending their skills (or lack thereof) will show.
