Pros

Relatively modern technology Some of management cares If you get the ears of the right people, they'll listen Tons of opportunity for recognition if you're willing to work for it? Great personal development plans usually Tuition Reimbursement Solid benefits

Cons

Don't accept a low salary at the start, large and rapid growth is capped by subjective team based ratings Bonuses aren't consistent and based off of % of completion of expected rate of growth that are out of independent BU's controls. The dates shift around, and they've started back paying raises after review periods. Lateral mobility isn't really always an option, managers will work to block you if they feel you're needed where you are as a cheap and valuable asset, despite your skill set being beyond the position If senior management decides to focus on growth, you can be asked to reduce personal technical development, instead focus on training and assisting newly contracted outsourced resources

Pros

The fact they had Remote work

Cons

In my experience, management lacked consistency, transparency, and empathy when addressing employee concerns. After dedicating nearly 16 years to the company, I felt my years of service and commitment were not meaningfully considered when employment decisions were made. I received my first disciplinary action in February 2026 related to FMLA reporting requirements. From my perspective, I was placed on a final corrective action without prior coaching or progressive discipline, which I found surprising after many years with the company. A few months later, I was terminated following a security-related incident while working remotely. I felt I was not given a meaningful opportunity to explain the circumstances before the decision was made, leaving me with the impression that the outcome had already been determined. I also experienced frustration when seeking guidance from Human Resources regarding bereavement policies. I did not feel my concerns were fully addressed or that I received clear explanations to help me understand the company’s position. Overall, I left feeling unsupported and believing that HR’s primary role was to protect the organization’s interests rather than advocate for employees. While every workplace must uphold policies and compliance standards, I believe there should also be room for fairness, open communication, and consideration of an employee’s long-standing dedication and overall performance. My experience left me feeling undervalued and, ultimately, discarded after nearly 16 years of loyal service.
