Pros

leading products and technology, good pay.

Cons

Leadership and managers are just out for their own name and title, and they do not care about employee feedback and engagement survey results. Layoffs and turnover are constant, and there is no work life balance. Employees have been told by a certain manager that " you get paid well, so you're expected to work 60 hours or more a week" Goals are unrealistic and there are a lot of fire drills and many delays. The patients and customers are lost in corporate greed and poor planning from leadership.
