Pros

Offer 2 flexible "holiday" days on top of regular ones, offer hybrid work for some depts allowing to work some days at home, esop program is nice, Christmas bonus is a big plus, love on campus lunch companies

Cons

Waaaay too much mandatory overtime, management is horrible (at least in my dept) & no way to hold the accountable, systems/programs are constantly going down where we can't even do our job, a ridiculous amount of completely unnecessary meetings, pay isn't great, they treat tenured employees terribly and new hires with no experience get paid more, resources are severely lacking
