Pros

- Good work-life balance - Good benefits - Visionary CEO (... but is losing charm slowly).

Cons

- Company is not growing as such. Growth in earning is purely by acquiring new companies. - No company growth => No career growth. - Too much people stuck at mid-level so not much room for growth. - Poor mid-level management. - 401(k) matching is $1500/year.
