Pros

* Financially stable company * Still growing - lots of opportunities * Smart, hard working employees (though some are a little entitled and out-of-touch) * Great work/life balance

Cons

* Middle-bottom of the payscale * Benefits are now just average (where they once were outstanding) * Limited opportunities for advancement outside of Development (the company is big on "lateral promotions") * Middle management heavy...prepare to be micromanaged * "Work from home" not allowed (the policy states WFH allowed a max of 0-3 days a year. Yes, ZERO to three)...though the senior management who crafted the policy seem to answer a lot of emails from their empty offices.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
