Pros

Good company to work for. There are much worse out there. Salary not top of the heap, Benefits are OK, not great, but not bad either. Good work environment, lots of good caliber engineers on staff. Management at the line level are also OK.

Cons

Work load can be hectic; it's tough to use up your vacation. Project success depends a lot of the skill of the assigned PM, so inconsistencies exist there.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
