Pros

The team you work with day-to-day are amazing people There are multiple departments and positions (for lateral movement only)

Cons

Limited career growth (upward positions and salary) Leadership does not take to heart or make improvements from employee's concerns Refusal to hire additional staff to supplement heavy workload of current employees (continually asked to 'do more with less')

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
