Pros

Competitive & fair compensation, good culture with a lot of communication from HR etc., I like the "40 hrs/week | 80 hrs/pay period" which keeps employees accountable but grants them flexibility, AWESOME education benefits!, telework options, military friendly, excellent onboarding process,

Cons

TL;DR: The 401(k) is a scam. (1) there's a lack of transparency & integrity because they advertise 6% matching. However, "the Employer will match 50% of the first 6% of compensation deferred by each participant on each paycheck." In other words, they only match up to 3%. (2) When you dig into the 401(k) options, they are limited with high fees. So the 3% the company matches you really only covers the fees T. Rowe Price is going to charge you. (3) T. Rowe Price charges a quarterly fee (I think $40?), so right off the bat you're paying $120/year regardless of if you make or lose money. (4) The expense ratios are high. The 2060 Target-Date retirement fund has a 0.76% expense ratio, which sounds low until you realize it could cost you $100,000. Competing funds offer a 0.09% expense ratio.
