Pros

The people are amazing, timelines reasonable and benefits are hard to beat (especially the 401k). Not to mention the ethical mindset and mission the company adheres too. Lots of reason to work here.

Cons

Salary is average or below, depending on your position. Most people who leave the company (especially recently) are easily finding other jobs with 30-40% salary increases, stock options, etc. It's also such a large company promotions are hard to come by so career growth can feel slow.

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
