Pros

- Good work-life balance - The people there are nice - They allow for inter-team movement and collaboration for more diverse work

Cons

- Pay is low for the work and very low for the location - Upper management changes the long-term goals frequently, causing confusion about the direction of updates - The industry is going through a squeeze, which doesn't help - Experience is very dependent on your team and your manager
