Pros

Good 401k. Great for first job and green developers. Not good match for mid level or higher professionals.

Cons

Pay, PTO, hours and benefits are not competitive with the area. You can easily make 60k more working in Charlottesville or working remotely. They also only start you with 7 days of PTO maxing you out at 15 days which is what most companies will start you at. They also require you to work 45-50 hours a week on site. Management is also horrible and micromanaged and refuses to empower employees. High turnover and burnout in department. The company also goes by “Safetyamp” which is the same as innovative.

Pros

I honestly can't think of one.

Cons

All the reviews that talk about "Growing so fast", "people need to work", "work hard isn't for everyone", please read their title... Realistically, the company culture is not the best in my opinion. They also state that their standards are high but when pointed out claim that it isn't a problem and that its only you that is complaining. The benefits are also not stellar.
