Pros

This company has a generous salary and benefit plan, a family friendly work environment, and employs many talented individuals. Location is convenient for commuting.

Cons

The past 2 years have seen multiple layoffs, reorganizations, "shuffling" of employees to roles that are not in sync with their talents. Focus on improving the bottom line via cutting staff, travel, professional development, product improvement, new product development = bad morale.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
