Pros

excellent benefits and good working hours a convenient working location with nice offices and free snacks

Cons

Small private firm where you really need to "know" someone or be a friend of the family to have a chance at moving ahead of the position and salary that you start at. Managment / ownership is a small opinionated group of people, so if you don't impress the right person you may be treated poorly and have a short career there. They tend to bring people in as temps or contractors bragging about benefits that you will never see. Plan #2 is hire young college students or fresh graduates at very low salary.

Very family oriented company, might be too close knit for some

Pros

Very attractive benefits and challenging, exciting work opportunities. Beautiful campus. Lots of activities that mix up the staff from various departments. Great network of clients and partners and sound principles. Some employee directed giving and charitable volunteering strongly encouraged.

Cons

No ESOP is offset by extremely favorable retirement benefits otherwise. Very small employee base and longevity of senior employees means room for improvement concerning training, on boarding, and some conventional wisdom goes left unsaid. Salary compensation is below market average. Corporate tithe in effect at 10% of revenues given away primarily to faith based organizations. Aggressive scheduling and deadlines in some departments but very routine pace in others. There are a few sacred cows.

Pros

The culture of the company is very supportive, and social. Co-workers help each other out often.

Cons

The informal, "learning a lot on the job" environment took some time for me to get used to.
