Pros: Great work environment. Latest technologies are employed, and the highest quality computers and equipment are provided. But the best part: the leadership requires a little "professional development" time spent each week taking care of your own skill growth (rather than making you do that on your own time) and even provides paid-for online technology classes. Good performance is recognized and rewarded. The pay scale is much more competitive than other similar job positions in the area. Opportunities and training are provided to move into any skill area and space you might find interesting, even if it's not the one you were originally hired for.

Cons: Typically, do not allow technology workers to work from home, which is just plain bizarre. Only a couple of weeks of vacation during the first 5 years with the company, even if you're experienced as a tenured enterprise employee. I had 7 weeks saved up at my last place, so it was a painful and challenging adjustment.

Pros: The pay and benefits are nice.

Cons: Work-life balance can sometimes be difficult.

Pros: Teams are required to apply for an internship with an internship idea in mind.

Cons: The experience you have is entirely dependent on your dynamic with your team.
