Pros

Affordable benefits, FTO, not much else

Cons

Lack of leadership, selfish management, no opportunity for growth, no team collaboration or communication, you are on your own to try to figure out how to get your job done (or even understanding what your job is as it changes regularly) in an ever changing landscape of management, tools and lack of training or even advisement of new tools. Products change constantly and you'd better do your research because they are not telling you much about it other than maybe a few sentences on a company wide call or an email. The sales alignment restructuring this year has been a giant challenge with all parties involved given different competing goals. Good luck if you want even a cost of living raise - not happening for close to a decade now - and they keep finding ways to take money from you while telling you (brainwashing you?) how great the company is doing. This used to be a good place to work but has gone steadily downhill for 8+ yrs.

Pros

Ability to work remotely, wanting too share knowledge or learned skills with AI.

Cons

Treat people more like independent contractors and don't have centralized places to find information that it needed. There SharePoint sites are not easy to navigate.
