Pros

Principal offers really good benefits and perks including both a 401(k) and a Pension. They have an excellent culture that puts people first, and have a strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion.

Cons

Principal is pretty up-front that their salary is at the mid to lower end of the market. As an IT professional, there wasn't a consistent volume of intellectually challenging work for me to engage in.
