Pros: 1. Core values - The company has core values that resonate with mine. This is a company where core values are not just a poster but something that you can see everywhere. Check the list on the company website. 2. People - great, genius people around, always ready to share. 3. Products - The products are what makes this place awesome. Knowing that we make a difference in pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.

Cons: Slightly more cautious than what I like, but since that ensures profitability, I am okay.

Pros: Great, intelligent people to work with. Decent work-life balance (nice to have a gym on campus, etc.). The company feels "young," which is nice for new graduates.

Cons: - Low pay (we shouldn't have to rely on a stakeholder bonus to get a halfway decent salary) - Management is in general pretty awful - Too much emphasis on procedures and bureaucracy - Difficult to get promoted (not based on merit – my manager even told me I just haven't been here long enough)
