Pros

Everyone is fun to work around and they have a great work life balance

Cons

The pay is very bad. You can go anywhere else and receive 50% more than here. Seniors start at 80k or less while everywhere else on average is over 120k. They haven't hired a senior software engineer in over 3 years. They have only hired 1 software engineer in 2

Pros

Lots of work. Good people and decent company. Old Reno building, very lackluster, not much of cohesiveness and it was like people were still more remote, than in the office. Decent managers and co-workers.

Cons

Seemed like hundreds of constant gaming license apps and renewals all the time. I wasn't really getting the training on the installs and upgrades, bit of a learning curve.
