Pros

Very helpful, well-intention people. Ready to invest in the well-being of their employees. Especially helpful towards first-generation immigrants.

Cons

If you were to believe the well-intentioned video message by the CEO you, would conclude that you're getting a job for life at Kitware. However, as the recent 11 layoffs with a 2-week notice period demonstrate, you are subject to the vagaries of the American job market just like any other company. However, you can't point this out in polite company.

Pros

This is a great company to work for if you're looking to do a 9 to 5 with minimal stress.

Cons

There's not a lot of room for real career growth and the compensation is pretty bad.
