Target

My team is very chill, and there isn't a lot of stress or deadlines. The coolest thing is Target's 50 Days of Learning. Essentially, they encourage managers to allow their employees every Friday to focus on learning something that hopefully will help with their career. For me, that's been reading professional development books, using their Pluralsight training (Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, etc.), or researching new, cool technologies to use in the work the team does.

Time off (at least on my team) is very chill, and if you need more than you are allocated, you are given it no questions asked. Work-life balance is very good here.

I worry that retention pay won't match what I could get at other companies, but I guess I'll see. A 3% raise each year doesn't even match inflation.
