Good if you value work life balance

Pros

Great work life balance, compelling mission, good workplace culture. Awesome amount of paid time off

Cons

Low pay for engineers. Doing a good job is rewarded with a paper certificate and pat on the back. Don’t expect a promotion and if you do get one don’t expect much of a raise
