Great Culture Mid Benefits & Pay

Pros

The people and culture is great - coworkers are engaged & good at their jobs & always happy to help, they will work with you to make sure you always have a job even if you move states / the market shifts / you want to go try something new

Cons

Only 15 vacation days without 5+ years with the company, company car stipend is low and significantly worse than the previous car program that it replaced, periodic hiring / promotion freezes and rigid promotion cycles leave new hires making more money than those with experience, lack of growth opportunity if you aren't willing to move every few years

Pros

There are interesting problems to solve

Cons

The place is a mess and they seem to choose to put toxic people in positions of authority, and then move them around when they cause problems.
