Pros

Hire high quality staff, very good compensation in good times, good compensation in bad times, successfully run company, benefits are quite good, interactions of staff are quite good, keep on top of technology improvements, stable in good and bad times

Cons

A large portion of the compensation is tied to the bonus pool and only paid annually which can make it difficult to budget, the KTO is a bit overbearing

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
