Pros

The health insurance and dental benefits are great. Lots of company discounts and perks.

Cons

Very flat structure so little to promotion opportunity. Pay is typically below industry average, but they feel they can get away with paying less because the benefits are so good. Company is ran like a small business and is therefore not very open minded or forward thinking on policies that may make it easier to work for their employees to work. Sometimes the focus is more on saving money vice quality.

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)
