Pros

Amazing work-life balance.

99% of the people I meet or work alongside are cool and capable.

Four extra days off with summer-flex.

Good benefits.

Cons

Pay truly isn't competitive. You can certainly earn more for your experience elsewhere, but it's made up for with the great work/life balance.

Seems like we get a reorganization once a year, almost with no warning or say in the matter.
