Pros

cool location and chill hours. expectations are low. benefits to effort ratio is very high.

Cons

engineering work is not interesting, no career opportunities, middle management is based on seniority, and top level management always saying "things are great" but deadlines are more like suggestions. I put in a lot of time and ambition when I started but because I wasn't one of the "good ol boys" my questions and concerns got ignored. really deflating career wise, but WLB as a result is amazing

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
