Pros

- Excellent Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs and training. It was very clear to me that DEI was an actual value of the company. - Good communication from CEO and execs to company. Regular company meetings with Q&A and free-form coffee hours for connecting about non-work topics as much or more than work (both were over video conferencing while the company was working remotely during the pandemic. I only worked there during the pandemic). - Really thoughtful, responsive and proactive to employee' needs caused by the stress of the pandemic and working remotely.

Cons

Salary was near the low end of average for similar jobs in the area.
