Pros

It seems to be the best gig in the area. The benefits are really good and the hours are very basic 9-5 without expectation to stay late or anything like that.

Cons

Over the past 3+ years, it seems the company has just been on a downward trend. Every year I have been here, the annual raise has been lower and lower (this past year was 0). It feels very much disconnected in a sense that you can try your hardest, or not try at all, and it won't make a difference. No incentives to give it your best.

Pros

Flexible Schedule, Good Pay, Remote possible, benefits, good for growth and learning in own time.

Cons

The office classic of not enough work or too much. Constant shift of using something to it going away and needing to use something new.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
