Pros

Flexible, great benefits, usually feels like upper management cares, attempts transparency and communication.

Cons

Lately it's been hard to trust upper management due to walking back promises made about working from home. Previously it was stated that the company was committed to allowing employees to choose what fit best for them (fully remote, hybrid, or fully office) and this message was maintained until almost 2 months ago when it was suddenly announced that anyone within 50 miles of an office must come in to the office 2.5 days per week. While somewhat understandable when considering what is best for the company as well as employees, the issue is with how short notice it was. There wasn't enough notice given to allow for preparation, such as child care, buying a second car, reassessing finances to allow for increased commute expenses, etc.

Not worth it anymore

Pros

Pension 4% (actually 3%, but can be UP TO 4) 401K match Yearly bonus based on business results

Cons

Offered 'flexible schedule' when I was hired for my current role which allowed for every other Friday off, but this benefit was taken away with no additional pay to compensate for the increased hours. Hired for an advertised 100% remote position, now being forced to return to an office 10 days a month despite not working in the same state as my coworkers. 'Anonymous' surveys are sent out just before bad news is delivered to deliberately skew engagement results and avoid receiving negative feedback. Survey results are suspiciously glossed-over when announced. Extremely top-heavy organization with many layers of middle management in all departments who you will seldom if ever interact with, hear from, or experience any tangible benefit from as a front-line employee. Salaries are not very competitive (particularly in IT), yearly raises consistently below inflation even for 'exceeds expectations' ratings Not possible to keep up with workload only working 40 hours a week Ridiculously high/specific expectations for moving within the company, resulting in roles staying unfilled for long periods of time or never being filled

Pros

- Day 1 benefits - Remote - Lateral - Flexible Schedule

None so far. They are an agile environment if you view that as a con.
