Pros

The pay is pretty good and the benefits are amazing. About 6 weeks of vacation a year! The management is very good at treating new college recruits as equals. You aren't forced to work long hours: 40-45/hr is average.

Cons

There isn't a clear path to promotions. The culture around campus is very boring. Plain white walls, no embellishments, no fun. The people in Boise are very conservative and sometimes very backwards.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
