Pros

Offer a competitive wage up front to get you in the door but then you realize quickly you are going to pay for it. The company talks about being employee owned but you as an employee have NO say in anything the company decides. ESOP is a good program and benefits after 5 years there are better than average.

Cons

Many employees that don't live up to their resume. Good ole boy club that thinks they know better than even their customers. Failing leadership in the upper levels due to lack of experience in the engineering field. Company has lost a LOT of contracts over the past year and has not acquired many. Growth of the company is jammed down your throat constantly. Again, lots of talk up front but no real action behind the words.

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.
