Pros

Decent benefits (seems like they used to be more generous), good work/life balance, telecommuting options

Cons

Company philosophy on pay raises has changed from annual increases for most everyone, to manager recommended increases for only star performers, which in practice has meant no increases for anyone in some groups for three years. In addition much of the development engineering and test has been moved overseas. This has resulted in low morale and a brain drain at the company, with lots of experienced engineers walking out the door going to other companies.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance: The company respects personal time and maintains a healthy, sustainable work environment. Strong and supportive leadership: Management is genuinely invested in employee success and actively encourages upskilling. Opportunities for technical diversification: I joined as a Salesforce CPQ Developer, and leadership supported me in training for MuleSoft alongside my existing role. I am now handling both platforms and built deep expertise in MuleSoft Integration by successfully completing 4 projects. Great career growth: Thanks to the leadership team's encouragement and the opportunities provided, there is a clear, proven path for expanding my technical stack and advancing my career.

Cons

I do not have any cons to report at this time. It has been a great place to work and grow my career.
