Pros

Working from home, 401K match, medical

Cons

Lots of rules and restrictions. Silo mentality for job roles and responsibilities. Can be frustrating for someone who is used to and enjoys wearing many hats in their job function. It takes forever to get a decisions made. Feels like 70's managment style.
