      Pros

      Great people, almost everyone I work with take pride and ownership of thier role in the company. Great pipeline and vision for the future. Managment is willing to work with individuals on work/life balance (ie flexible work weeks and telecommuting). Regular employee satisfaction surveys with changes that will result from them. Salary is very competitive. Management keeps employee informed of upcoming challenges.

      Cons

      Promotions are slow and can be political. Merit based promotions are very rare. Performance reviews can be very demotivating as high performers can be lumped in with mediocre performers depending on project visibility in the company.
