Pros

1) Good work life balance. WFH & PTO policies are good. Maternity leave policy is excellent. 2) Ample parking space! I spent a few minutes trying to find another positive but just can't see one.

Cons

1) For a tech company, the level of innovation is very low. Majority of senior employees have been here for nearly a decade(or more) and are stuck in the technology stack the started with. Tech leads and engineering managers look at you with suspicion when you try to innovate. 2) There is a very heavy top-down approach. Managers believe in command and execute mode. Engineering head has right ideas but is surrounded by head nodders. 3) Poor software development process. Stuck in late 90s early 2000s. Hope they realize soon that doing the same (wrong) thing and expecting different result is just plain insanity.
