Pros

- Great benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k) - great and diverse people to work with - moving toward newer technologies - thorough with their numbers - moving toward a scrum variation

Cons

- hard to get in (interviewing) - the director had non engineer managers under him (making it his "kingdom") - the managers have no engineer experience, that makes it hard for them to understand (from an engineering perspective) - steep learning curve - badge in and badge out ("badging out" was a new thing for me)
