Pros

Health benefits were inexpensive, 401k matching, life insurance offered.

Cons

Unless you're in Management or above you're not going to be recognized for your contributions. Reviews are a joke, you'll get the same 2% raise at the person next to you or never does anything and has no work ethic. You'll be stressed out by demands from your VP and corporate with no regard to your health. I've been in this line of work for over 20 years and I've never had such horrible leadership. Taking a day off or a vacation was was a scary thought because of what I'd have in my inbox to attempt to catch up on when I returned. Certain regional VPs in the area will do and say whatever they needed to advance rather than take responsibility for their poor leadership and avoidance of local problems.

Pros

Strong compensation and benefits, a genuinely collaborative culture, and real opportunities for advancement and professional growth. Smart, supportive colleagues and meaningful exposure to large-scale enterprise programs.

Cons

Recent leadership changes have shifted the culture, and decision-making increasingly favors established insiders over the best ideas. Aging systems and infrastructure can lag behind, leaving limited appetite for innovation and modernization.
