Cons
Slow pay progression in comparison to smaller competitors. **Please note: My only frame of reference regarding pay progression is from my last employer of 3.5 years. There are only 10-12 employees and are very loose with pay standards in this competitive market. It is hard to find qualified people nowadays.
