Pros

Very nice company culture, the coworkers are all very helpful and nice, very loyal to employees once employees are noticed and first appreciated. Management will give ample opportunity for employees to prove their contributions (possibly too many)

Cons

Very slow paced and somewhat older company. Management is very slow to make any decisions and pay is average if not low for industry standards even though they charge a premium for their product. Likely a considerable amount of bloat at the company that could help it accelerate growth if let go. As an EIT you do a lot of brain dead menial tasks and likely will not get your own personal project for a while.

Pros

They value time a good work life balance and are doing the best they can to make a fun working environment for their employees. Worked on some really cool projects. Coworkers make work really fun. The building has a gym, pickle ball courts, volleyball courts, and annual summer party for all businesses in the area.

Cons

Lots of talk and not a lot of action when it comes to compensation. It is hard to meet with the CEO who has to approve all salary adjustments. It took months to get a small raise. There are talks of growth but when it comes down to it there isn't room to grow here. The management level they have has been there a long time and they don't seem to be promoting people from within. I never saw someone go from Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer or Team Lead while I was there. A lot of 'company R&D'. There was a lot of my time not being billed to customers and just being billed to the company. I was never awarded ESOP shares/stock because of company performance.
