Pros

Personal offices, good benefits, and heavy investment in infrastructure and developer tools

Cons

My biggest complaints are: - Annual salary boosts aren't that great. I meet new hires with less experience earning more than me. - The organizational maturity is really tough to measure here. It is most immediately evident in the products themselves: an automatic update model is finally being rolled out in 2018, and the company still seems to bend over backwards to release patches for specific $$$ customers. Looking deeper, one notices that a proper issue tracking system (in this case, Jira) was only adopted in 2018 (and the adoption feels...slipshod). Somehow, my experience at my previous job with a much smaller and younger company felt significantly better organized. Of course, if you were to ask the project management teams, you would probably hear a completely different story.

Pros

The values are do the right thing and think long term - hard to get better than that. Work life balance is also quite good.

Cons

Software only, not much hardware. Limited ambition among coworkers.
