Pros

Nice that there is another opportunity to work in tech in north Idaho. Flexible about working in office or from home. Beer kegs in the office

Cons

After being bought by KKR salaries went up (still quite low), but the culture changed. Lay-offs, and definitely trying to outsource as much engineering work to India as possible.
