Pros

9/80 schedule was great. Bagels were good too (pre-COVID).

Cons

Terrible and confused management. They over-hired at the top and had "leaders" who had nothing to do. They kept making lay offs at lower levels to cut costs and then hire more senior "leaders". Completely confused and bad direction. They have no planning, no clear direction, and make decisions on a whim! They keep trying to pivot the business model and have made an absolute mess of the company. Some senior leaders have unrealistic asks and if you voice your opinion you can find yourself in their bad books which may be extremely detrimental to your career here. The pettiness is unbelievable. They will work you to the bone and rid themselves of your services when projects are done. They got rid of some really good talent this year. Watching this, other competent people left, too. A total mess, and so I am really suspicious of some of the reviews on here!

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
