Pros

Team building skills, health benefits, paid vacation/holiday/sick time

Cons

This company loves "yes men." Management is very clique-y but quick to throw their own to the wolves. Changes are sporadic and unannounced until last minute. A LOT of restructuring goes on here. No advancement unless you secretly suck up to management. Forced to work other positions for that of which I applied. If refused, was made clear I could leave. Watch your back type atmosphere. I wish I would have left this company sooner.

Pros

Decent flexibility for hybrid model.

Cons

Strong push for AI to be used everywhere in the company, but there is no understanding of the consequences. Lip service for modernization while broken processes are simply ignored for unproven 'innovation' with technology. Discussions through the grapevine to significantly cut headcount. Poor workplace culture.
