Pros

Great benefits, every other Friday off, friendly co-workers, and plenty of resources to learn new skills. BioFire is also great at trying to make all of their workers feel appreciated and that the work we do has an actual impact.

Cons

Your experience will depend highly on your manager. Unfortunately, some managers will make it difficult to advance your career or even talk about career growth. It seems like there is a good number of people in management who seem to have gotten their role by being friends with others in upper management, not because of their qualifications. Also, people in several departments tend to cross the line or take inappropriate actions and there never seems to be any repercussions from HR. It has made several people feel alienated in their teams.

Pros

Good work week hours. You get every other Friday off. Plenty of vacation time. Very good 401k. Decent medical benefits. Coworkers are the best to work with. Excellent talent and ingenuity. The developers are top notch, project managers are awesome to work with to a degree.

Cons

If you are a test engineer, you will have every project manager, associate director, director and senior director know better than you how to test software. They conform to the factory based test method. They wont let you deviate so don't try. Even with their extremely educated management, they seem to know little to nothing about Tacit and Explicit knowledge or ignore it outright because it doesn't fit into their outdated method. But aren't above informing you how a test case is to be written so that anyone can run it. (A terrible model that makes lazy testers, expensive test case documents, and crappy software)
