Pros

Company boasts cutting-edge technology with a broad and loyal customer base. The parent company in France enforces a long term ambitious grand vision which seems in right direction. You get to work on industry-grade problems from many big name companies in major industry fields. Many internal resources and training opportunities to support your work. Managers in tech positions know their stuff well and are mostly helpful when approached. Most colleagues are nice people and highly educated. Management is flexible and respectful to employees. Job security seems high. Company culture is relatively relaxed and employee-friendly. Generally good work-life balance. Benefits are decent. Vacation policies are generous among US companies. The Johnston campus is a nice place in and out.

Cons

Slow and uncertain career path inside the company. R&D is generally underpaid.

Pros

Work-life balance is nice. Fellow colleagues are friendly and helpful. Work environment is healthy in almost all aspects.

Cons

The pay is a bit lower than tech companies. But as long as you don't crave for pay that much, it's a decent job to stay in.

Great work life balance Truly unlimited PTO Friendly coworkers who are willing to help you learn the software and proprietary tools My manager is very hands-on -- management is mostly past engineers so they are also very qualified

Cons

Almost all proprietary and in-house tools
