Pros

Healthcare and 401k match are solid

Cons

Pay is below average, don't expect more than a few hundred as a bonus. Management is in rough shape, no one willing to speak the truth when a project is behind resulting in unrealistic time lines that lead to delays and a worse product overall. Culture of "you should ve honored to work here" resulting in not valuing employees. Requirements being written after the product is built so there's no point in writing them.

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)
