Pros

Excellent benefits - onsite gym and cafeteria, volleyball, patio party every week during the summer, great employee/friends/family discount. Fun work environment. Great brands.

Cons

The company is big enough that sometimes collaborating across departments can be time intensive and counter-productive.

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.
