Pros

Go get it and do it attitude is the most obvious culture. No lack of work at any given time. Company has seen some very good years in the recent past.

Cons

Constant changes: projects get added, project get cancelled, organization get changed every few months, few weeks, few days. Mediocre engineering caliber but most are doers.

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
