Pros

Employee owned and employee centric. Excellent work atmosphere with a corporate vision of technological excellence while demanding honesty and integrity towards both the customer and the employee.

Cons

Company is growing fast. There is a risk of losing corporate culture that has worked so well for so many years. If it can be maintained, this company will go from great to fantastic.

Pros

Excellent work life balance. Management is very supportive of developers pushing the envelope of how code is written.

Cons

Some developers will carry a "that's how it's done in defense" mindset. It's important to not let those sorts of coworkers bog you down. Those devs will be there among any employer though.

Pros

Solid work-life balance. I rarely worked late and all of my projects had distant deadlines. The projects I worked on were pretty relaxed and informal, i.e. a client would ask for support on some project and I'd provide it, no code reviews, agile boards, etc.

Cons

The pay increase schedule is a fairly generous annual adjustment (5-6%) but there's no pay bump for title changes so that's all you get. Additionally, the culture of my team at least didn't really promote career growth or skill learning. My manager gave me a lot of freedom to work as independently, but the tradeoff of that is that I didn't gain experience with code reviews, stand-ups, Agile, etc. Not as important if you already have a lot of experience under your belt but something to consider for a junior engineer.
