Pros

Allows plenty of work-life balance.

Salary and benefits are competitive. Health insurance is paid for, and they match 50% of your 401k contributions up to the IRS maximum.

Cons

This is a great, stable, well-paying job. It would be great if you were a dad. Unfortunately, probably 90% of the engineers they hire are dads. I don't often work with women or young people.
