Pros

2 week per year shutdown. 401k March (5% of your salary automatically deposited and 5% of salary matched once you start contributing).

Cons

Constant, non-stop reorgs that make best people leave. Slow career progression. Layoffs twice a year keep people in continuous state of stress. Lots of vendors who take no ownership so internal services are greatly degraded thus affecting your job as you always need to tend to all the fires.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
