Pros

Great culture, collaborative environment, great people. If you are starting your career, this is a great place to do it at. However, your market value will rise faster than your compensation, so it's not really a great place to build a career. If you are in the middle of your career, it's not a bad place to work...but see below as to why it won't last forever.

Cons

No employee growth in 6 years while completely pivoting product line. Multiple rounds of layoffs. Sales objectives met, but there is little money for raises regardless of performance come annual review time. While the culture is great, the compensation doesn't match the ever increasing workload. Very few growth opportunities as the company has not grown in five years. The IPO was handled poorly, and due to constrained pool of stock, the share price is stagnant, consequently, stock options are pretty much a delayed incentive susceptible to taxes that lose value as time passes in a high inflation economy. Senior leadership either has no visibility or no interest in these challenges as they never discuss them, nor address them.
