Pros

Good pay. Extra paid days off. Volunteer day offs. Abundance of intelligent people to learn from. Friendly culture. Internal mobility.

Cons

Layoffs every 6 months since the end of COVID.

Company forces you to take PTO on New Year's (~5 days) and on the first week of July (4 days, I believe).

Somewhat understaffed due to layoffs.
