Pros

Amazing coworkers and direct management. The people you work with and report to really do actually care. There used to be a thriving culture, work life balance, schedule flexibility, and a commitment to employee growth.

Cons

They no longer care about people. Tom Polen's "BD 2025" ruined BD. Layoffs now occur every 6 months. No ones job is secure. They are not committed to employee growth and continuing education like they claim to be.
