Fun, technical, problem solving BUT...

Pros: Smart people, fun projects, job security, chill environment

A lot of interesting projecrs but if you're an over achiever, your extra efforts will not result in significant promotion opportunities, or financial gain. Raises, and promotion schedule do not keep pace with cost of living, even for top performers.
