Pros

The work was interesting and fulfilling. The team was completely remote. There were many opportunities to learn new skills from my peers in GIS and to gain domain knowledge of archeology, biology, and NEPA processes.

Cons

This was the top of the pay range for the position. There is no 401k match, but there is an ESOP with 4-6% salary investments by employer with 6 year vesting.
