Vantaggi
Very good pay and benefits. Management genuinely appreciates good work done. They provide good compensation raises and bonuses to keep you. Leave credits to you fairly. And the stock appreciation does give you some good upside. The employee purchase plan (EPP) is good. Plus they have EPP+ which gives extra money for purchases every three years. The company buys and uses some of the best software packages from vendors and so you are enabled to do a very high quality work using the best software there is.
Svantaggi
Very hectic work life. My group has a requirement that nobody can take more time off than 2 weeks at a stretch. But now with remote work arrangements you can work from remote geographies for up to 4 weeks a year and can combine it with vacations. This policy is generally working out well enough so far. The ESPP policy limits you to no more than 10% of your salary to be invested. No matching rewards on ESPP. But the stock appreciation and stability of the stock price probably make up for it.
