Pros

Benefits, comps, snacks, drinks. Have the technology and research to accomplish great things, but going downhill now.

Cons

Culture. Extremely cliquey. You think someone is your friend? They'll talk behind your back like trust isn't a thing. The leads here also can't keep a secret. Where's the professionalism? It was great 2-3 years ago. But since the re-org, things have changed. Great people have left or are trying to leave. The new leads are not managers. They cannot manage people and leave professional relationships alone without gossiping to their subordinates and having a power trip. Feels like no one is out of their college/fraternity phase yet. Need better leadership and trusting leaders to set a better example to their staff. Fix that and the culture can start being great again.
