Pros

- Relaxed and welcoming work environment - A constant stream of interesting and exciting work - It is a traditional, mature company with low adoption of modern technologies and tools -- for me this is a pro because it offers lots of opportunities to introduce new things (management is open to it, provided you are accountable for what you do) - Professional albeit amicable and supportive management - Perks, benefits, free lunch (+ beer/wine/juice/smoothies)

Cons

Internal communication about technical matters is a little deficient, in my opinion. That might be less of an issue for a senior, but for less experienced people it is problematic due to tight deadlines. Things improved a lot in this regard while I was working there, though (and, as I said, this might be an opportunity).

Pros

- Ample opportunities to do technical work and grow in fields that interest you, from low-level networking and storage to developing automation and web applications, and the points between. - Team members never have to be alone. They are supported by their fellow team members and by leadership. - Always evolving. Team members can drive change to improve the organization. - Leadership supports team member growth and career development, even if that leads team members to other organizations. - Inclusive and professional work environment.

Cons

- Team members, especially those in technical positions, have to be careful to maintain their work-life balance and avoid overcommitment. Our leadership will not deliberately overburden team members but they rely on team members to proactively tell them if they cannot take on requested commitments. - Some team members will have on-call responsibilities.

Pros

- Excellent team comraderies - All team members are encouraged and empowered to suggest, initiate, and act to improve not only business practices, but themselves as well.

Cons

- Team members are challenged regularly to reach beyond their normal limits - this is not a company for static skillsets.
