Pros

1) Smart and friendly coworkers 2) Ambitious environment 3) Wages aren't *too* far below the standard 4) Vacation days exist

Cons

1) Great work-life balance... if you live to work, hate your family, and have no hobbies 2) Managers are on your side... if you are willing to serve as their internal politics meat shield 3) You can look forward to consistent raises and promotions... a year or two after you make yourself deserving of them 4) The company gives everyone year-round "recharge days"... taken out of your regular vacation time Oh yeah, basically everyone there is White or Asian/Indian. I think I've seen at most one or two token Black or LGBTQ+ people in the entire office, and they don't really stay around for long. So much for diversity and inclusion.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
