Pros

Office space is amazing. Most everyone you work with loves their jobs. Lots of little perks. Benefits are great. Work life balance is amazing.

Cons

Pay is extremely poor and low. Promotions are rare and unlikely. There are no pay negotiations and will be told “benefits are great.” Benefits don’t pay the bills. Very Engineer focused so don’t expect to make work that isn’t outside of pushing numbers and stats. Very little room for creativity and is seen as defiance. No work from home options. Airport food prices for the vending machines and cafeteria. Business model is wacky.

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)
