Pros: Most managers/coworkers are extremely friendly and helpful, and are frequently responsible for mentoring new hires or junior developers. You can really feel that those in charge genuinely want to help their employees. Benefits are excellent, the accepting and friendly culture is constantly reinforced/encouraged, community events (at least in NYC) are consistent and open to all employees, and cross-organization learning sessions are common. Salary is fairly competitive, especially for locations outside of NYC (not to say that NYC salaries are low, though). Excellent work/life balance, and the company is constantly improving its agile methodology/workflow to ensure working late on the job is a thing of the past.

Cons: Career growth can be limited within a team, especially larger ones. You may need to apply to positions in other organizations for promotions. If you want to stay in your team, you need to constantly push your boss for raises or promotions, as they aren't likely to come to you naturally. This isn't necessarily uncommon across various companies.

Pros: None that I can think of at the moment.

Cons: - Zero work-life balance, constantly working on weekends. - Misleading PTO policy (Federal holidays require you to use PTO, despite most of the business and even facilities being closed on these days). - PTO policy actively discourages taking PTO. - Limited "perks". - Doing *anything at all* requires extensive levels of approval and on-boarding.

Pros: Slow growth environment, but lately the work pace has moved up quite a bit, almost to an annoying level. This is due to overzealous PMs being pushed by the top-tier executives with aggressive projects and moonshots. Overall, still a solid company to work with, but you might not want to stay for more than 5 years.

Cons: Slow-paced growth Orthodox work culture Office politics Tech/business division
