Pros
Good work life balance Benefits can help take care of your family Meaningful product Competitive pay for a multidisciplinary company Extremely strong family dynamic at the base level Allocation for conference and learning budgets
Cons
Lack of overall product direction, currently dictated by competitor's offerings Company has lost its mission under new leadership No credit or focus given to doing things new ways or the right way if it impedes unspecified deadlines Strong company culture between low level employees leads to wearing too many hats and being easily taken advantage of by senior management ending up with leads who are clearly extremely overworked in an effort to protect the happiness of their team Communication and trust between teams has greatly broken down and has resulted in a toxic work environment Agile methodologies need to be embraced Older software shop does not attract or enable new grads to build their skill set Promises of bonuses for meeting deadlines were hardly ever followed through on
