Pros

Employee discount on merchandise , pretty good medical insurance, free beer once in a while, you get paid.

Cons

Extremely siloed work, very unprofessional and disrespectful two faced management, no cafeteria in our building, terrible systems on all fronts, turnover is the worst I have ever seen, everyone has a “not my job, not my problem” attitude including management, management trash talks former employees, immediate supervisor was a bully, cannot work from home unless there is a real emergency, the problems were daily, serious and never ending with very little urgency to fix.

Pros

Good work-life balance and benefits.

Cons

What was once a pro for culture has now become a con. Uncertainty due to massive layoffs. Remote work has been largely eliminated, and thus flexibility has decreased signficantly. Offshore and AI initiatives to reduce local US workforce. Although collaboration is encouraged, departments are siloed and operate independently which causes significant inefficiencies costing the company millions of dollars. Diversity is also lacking in a number of departments. Over reliance on external consultants instead of leveraging internal expertise.
