Pros

Decent work-life balance, easy-going co-workers.

Cons

If you are expecting to grow your career here, forget about it, unless you are good at politics.

People you know are more important than what you can do.

There is a severe lack of transparency when it comes to employee evaluations.

Most good engineers leave since they do not see any challenging opportunities.

The scale of the problems isn't large enough to challenge your abilities.

A lot of the projects are hacks for the short term that may never be reevaluated.

Personal growth isn't encouraged, and you have to fight for budgets to attend conferences.

Advice to Management

Invest in your employees. Make sure people are hired to fit the role, not the other way around where roles are changed to match the people.
