Pros

* Lots of openness & communication from the executive * Good focus on work/life balance. Everyone leaves at a reasonable hour and you aren't expected to work outside of work hours. Everyone takes vacation. * Benefits are good. * We get ownership of our projects and get a say in what we work on

Cons

* Pay is decent but not the best you can get in the industry

Pros

- Very supportive environment to learn and grow. - Few "rock star" types, so they don't ruin the culture. - Family friendly

Cons

- Because the company is a little more conservative, it doesn't have all the perks other start ups have (for example, food). - Having tenure gives your words a little more weight than it should
