Pros

Good hybrid model, great office, good benefits, overall good culture, but actual work life has many issues

Cons

Poor training, unclear employment description. Manager is so busy, has no time for new hires, sometimes don't see or get to speak to the manager for weeks. Some teams are stuck doing things in an inefficient way (my team still takes faxed forms...), seeking to make their jobs seem more complicated than it is. Many teams can be shrunk using proper software and AI which would get rid of redundant work. Lots of bottlenecks when using external, international teams. They kind of want you to appear and sound more busy and important than you actually are.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
