Pros

High Salaries and Bonuses, no PTO policy - take as much as you want. Seriously, take off as much as you like, nobody checks.

Cons

Bring em in and burn em out. Read all of the online reviews to reach your own opinion. Their bond rating was near junk status, not sure if it has improved. The IT team has only been there 1.5 years as they mostly used contractors in the past. The system is a patchwork and no project plan can be followed as nobody knows what it does.

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Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems.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.
