Pros

Very lovely colleagues that will mentor and help you come up to speed with whichever team your join. Comprehensive benefits package and good 401K matching. Flexible work policy that allows you to flex through the month. Engineering minded leadership so it cuts out the typical clueless Program managers.

Cons

Lack of real vision of the CEO and direction he wants to take the company. Large spin off of MTS which brings allot of uncertainty. 2 year 401K vesting

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
