Pros

Lots of freedom and self management Employee feedback driven site improvement Initiatives on Lean and Agile Lots of opportunities for Management roles

Cons

Small annual salary increase Employee-HR relationships are almost always through the managers which gives managers a lot of power. Some of them abuse it. Too much self management and freedom is very prone to abuse. Consider office politics if you want to grow . Not much formal trainings from outside the company. Managers are too young. Sometimes they do not know what they are doing.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
