Pros

Nice, smart people. Good benefits. Can Telecommute to work (for now - although rumors are they'll start forcing 3-4 days per week)

Cons

The company makes billions in revenue and profit margins are insane. Yet perpetually ever year budgets get cut and money is tight. Except when it comes to sending hundreds of Executives on an annual boondoggle (which has never been cancelled no matter how "bad" of a year we're having). CEO of Cox Enterprises also simultaneously forces us to cut millions in our budget and lays off customers, while paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for events where he talks with celebrities like Tom Hanks and Ted Lasso imparting their invaluable executive insights.

Pros

I had a great experience and benefitted from great leadership, progressive growth opportunities, and exceptional colleagues. The company cares about its employees, and offers exceptional benefits.

Cons

The recent news of the merger (ok, let's be honest...acquisition) by Charter has many people worried about the future and preparing for the worst. There will undoubtedly be cultural changes and I know many people will be frustrated by the new norm.

Pros

Great work/life balance, culture and benefits. Work from home. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Merging with Charter this year. If I still have a job after the merger, I'll be losing unlimited PTO, WFH, culture and who knows about work/life balance. Some may be asked to move to CT. At the end of 2024 the company offered a generous VSP. Knowing the upcoming severance packages we may be offered by Charter, some of us feel betrayed.
