Pros

Benefits are great to include ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) at no cost to employees, 401K matching 3%, health and welfare benefits are standard, continuing education benefits and 529 College saving plan are also good. Career planning and employee resources are great, to include corporate subscriptions to EBSCO, Safari Books Online, Lynda.com and many professional associations. Family oriented company in which they try keep their employees through "tough times".

Cons

Too many managers for the amount of employees. Top management is unable to make decision without the consent of all management which creates a bottleneck. Leadership has a tough time in dealing with problems areas, such as cutting their losses while they can, instead they "hope" situation might improve or problem may go away. Leadership forgives easily and doesn't hold most employees accountable for their mistakes including their own.

Pros

Solid work-life balance. I rarely worked late and all of my projects had distant deadlines. The projects I worked on were pretty relaxed and informal, i.e. a client would ask for support on some project and I'd provide it, no code reviews, agile boards, etc.

Cons

The pay increase schedule is a fairly generous annual adjustment (5-6%) but there's no pay bump for title changes so that's all you get. Additionally, the culture of my team at least didn't really promote career growth or skill learning. My manager gave me a lot of freedom to work as independently, but the tradeoff of that is that I didn't gain experience with code reviews, stand-ups, Agile, etc. Not as important if you already have a lot of experience under your belt but something to consider for a junior engineer.
