Pros

- Positive working environment with good smart people - People try to do what's right for the company - Very open environment, allows for good discussions

Cons

- Consensus driven culture causes a very slow and inefficient decision making process. - Compensation is average at best, making it hard to retain top talent after some time - Very "shy" at trying new ideas, there seems to be big inertia to keep things the same

Pros

Great work/life balance, capable upper management

Cons

Not competitive compensation, riddled with methodical-thinking people all around, was an "NI family", now a big corporate losing the original agility. Terrible talent retention, definition of "key employees" doesn't go below VP level.
