Pros

* Financially stable company * Still growing - lots of opportunities * Smart, hard working employees (though some are a little entitled and out-of-touch) * Great work/life balance

Cons

* Middle-bottom of the payscale * Benefits are now just average (where they once were outstanding) * Limited opportunities for advancement outside of Development (the company is big on "lateral promotions") * Middle management heavy...prepare to be micromanaged * "Work from home" not allowed (the policy states WFH allowed a max of 0-3 days a year. Yes, ZERO to three)...though the senior management who crafted the policy seem to answer a lot of emails from their empty offices.
