Pros

Great people to work for. Laid back attitude. Overall, the company takes good care of its employees.

Cons

Pay scale and HR policies. If you decide to work there, make sure you negotiate a good package up front because it is next to impossible to move up quickly if you started much too low in the pay scale. Even if direct management says you deserve it and that you're being way underpaid, HR policies will keep them from doing anything meaningful about it.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
