Pros

WLB is awesome. People are very friendly, and the downtown location is good. The company is expanding quickly into new areas, and growth is amazing.

Cons

As some others have mentioned, compensation is a bit lacking, though not too much.

My major gripe is that the work is not very challenging. It is tedious and needs you to think about how people will use it best, but from a purely engineering perspective, it is not hard and doesn't meet the rigor that you expect. You can argue that you should engineer what people want to use, but sometimes I feel my skills are underutilized and getting rusty.
