Pros

Great corporate culture. Relax and friendly. Everybody is nice and helpful. Great hour (9-5) for most of the time. Good benefits. Great vacation policy (most people take more than 15 business days off each year).

Cons

Pay, pay and pay. Mstar is so underpaying its employees. I can't think of anything else bad about this company.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
