Pros

Interesting technical work Informal workplace (though contradicted in part by the con below) Great colleagues to work with. Good amount of vacation.

Cons

Salaries are mediocre. Management is implementing more and more policies and procedures to micro-manage employees. Managers don't really manage people, they manage policies. These policies are burdensome, time-wasting, and demotivating.
