Flexible job, reasonable job demands, predictable environment, nice spacious location for offices, gym reimbursement, good location relative to housing, dining etc, decent severance

Cons

Predictable environment, management unfocused and unsure product roadmap development, salaries are so-so, difficult to secure career advancement, currently in major layoff cycles with no warning, no true sense of company culture, practices a bit dated

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
