Not a bad place to work. Not a great place to work.
Pros: I get to work on some meaty projects that affect our customer base. Definitely have a lot of autonomy to make the work happen (but there are issues here too... see below). The people are all very smart and, for the most part, enjoyable to work with. Amazing work life balance.
Cons: Our systems are just soooooo slow. It takes forever to make a decision. And many of our options are taken off the table by antiquated systems that are inflexible. We're working on that (which is good) but it is sooooo slow. While the culture is good (i.e., good work/life balance) I'd say it errs to much on the side of life than work. But maybe I just like accomplishing things...
