Pros

They’re privately owned and helped find new work when people lost their positions. The highest tier insurance plan has good coverage. Good management. Pretty much fully remote.

Cons

Insurance is expensive, the company does not increase salary unless you take a significantly higher level position, pay could be more competitive.
