Benefits are good:

• 24 days PTO
• Two week-long holiday breaks (which don't count against PTO)
• Medical is solid
• Stock grants are nice
• Realistic work hours
• Free parking and bus pass

Career advancement is encouraged. Training and career-focused learning are emphasized toward that end.

Duplication of team functions in segregated silos. Valuable experience may be cordoned off.

Territoriality of middle management, though not as pernicious as some Puget Sound area software companies, is present. Advise caution when proceeding with projects that cross manager boundaries.

Keep focused on outcomes: when a process isn't producing good results and capabilities, it's time to prune that process.
