Pros

Work/life balance is good, but it really depends what department you work in and what team you’re on.

Cons

Low salary, company is way too large and does not do a good job of making you feel valued. No salary bump other than standard cost of living in 10 years, even after promotion. They are constantly acquiring new companies and swallowing up all the competition. It seems like that’s what’s most important. Their own monopolizing growth. But not the growth of the employees.

Pros

Fair compensation. Amazing retirement plant - 50% 401(k) match from 1% to 75% of bi-weekly compensation. Obviously there is the IRS limit, but you have option to max out that limit earlier.

Cons

None that I can identify

Pros

If you are cool with regressing into a zero impact worker it’s a very easy company to coast at and it’s largely incentivized.

Cons

Zero professional dignity. Your stakeholders will be some of the dumbest people you’ve ever met and the company rewards this. Everything gets mangled into some 5 year olds vision and the spend on mediocrity is insane. They hate technology you’ll never get access and all software decisions are made through the lens of how some corpo who doesn’t work would want to use it. Couldn’t stand the people I had to deal with and just all around anti technology anti productivity kind of place, just crazy.
