Pros

Hugely knowledgeable co-workers, brilliant CEO, competitive--if not always top-of-the-line--compensation (I was particularly fortunate on this one), SoCal-style compassion and flexibility regarding work/life balance, excellent non-core staff (especially in HR), attractive facilities (including policy of offices rather than cubes.)

Cons

Not a ton of flexibility or professional growth opportunities within the company--once you're slotted in to make a particular kind of widget, you'll make that kind of widget for a long time.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
