Pros

Other than a paycheck and benefits, there are no pros!

Cons

Leadership is out of touch. New leadership team is so top loaded with VPs and they have lost all understanding of the human side of HR and an organization. Everyone is just an employee number. But they present an entire different perspective on social media.

Pros

Employee benefits are great. Great friends when you managed to find the right group.

Cons

No flexible working despite what they say. Lots of office political and drama without actual working. Not enough headcount to support workload. Really hardworking ones are expected to finish the job when it's a collaborative project but everybody gets credit instead. Extremely strict clock in time. Salary does not justify workload. No work life balance.
