Pros

Great 401k match. Beautiful building. I had a great team and manager. I felt fairly compensated. Fun people to work with.

Cons

Your experience is largely dependent on your team and manager. Some managers are more likely to promote their employees than others. You might have to go out of your way more to be recognized. HR preaches DEI and employee advancement but takes zero action when you actually try to have a conversation with them. They love to ghost you via email.
