Pros

Benefits are good and the company outside of IT has good culture.

Cons

IT culture is very poor. Lots of game playing and grandstanding and being held hostage by other parts of the business. The work life balance mantra that is recited so often is non-existent. Poor management that does not value associates enough to stand up to the next manager up the chain.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
