Pros

Good benefits and salary. Some flexibility in work hours and work at home Good bonus plan

Cons

Raises are sporadic and very small There is too much process and HR seems to be running the company. Analytics is putting pressure on employees and it relies on non-experts trying to determine how long experts should take to do their jobs. It's not accurate.
