Pros

The company has a great mission and great, friendly employees. Work is usually interesting and fulfilling. Good work life balance.

Cons

Compensation is less than average. Right now, solely Market-driven company as opposed to product driven. Management can expect unrealistic timelines to complete projects which have to be adjusted.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
