Pros

If you have a family Boise is a nice place to live and raise kids. Pay is good, benefits are improving and aren't bad either. It is a stable job. It would look good on a resume.

Cons

Not much chance for career advancement unless you want to be a manager. Only sure way to get promoted is to get in with the good old boys club in your department, very political. If you don't have kids and don't love the outdoors, Boise will bore you to tears. The job is very repetitive, no chance for innovation and creativity is not encouraged. New ideas are often pushed aside in favor of "how is has always been done before". Design decisions are made by consensus management teams comprised of marketing and mid level managers, engineers only implement ideas handed down from on high. Be careful not to get on the bad side of anyone in the good old boys club.

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.
