Pros

They give a lot of items like jackets and tumblers. Co-workers are great. Salary is also ok. They provided a PC with good specs. There is also big room for career advancement.

Cons

No work-life balance- as in total zero. There is a lot of workload. They are used to rushing and forcing to launch projects after projects which even adds to the workload. They do not care even if you have to work on weekdays. Benefits are not competitive. It will not matter how many times you raise the issue about workload to management because they will not listen to it. You need to do basically what you are told to do regardless if you have to work outside your work hours. Even when you are already on leave, you will have no choice but to work because of the enormous workload. I even went to a point where I filed a leave just so I can finish other tasks without having to attend countless meetings. That's how bad it is.

Pros

Salary and internal team culture. Never faced any harassment or discrimination, unlike several previous companies.

Cons

Cross functional and management culture has taken a nose dive since the JV sale. Leadership tanked everyone's performance ratings in the last cycle to save money and reduce headcount without paying severance. There is no training or support for new leaders, who bear the brunt of pressure implementing new strategies and trying to protect staff from burnout. The company's insistence on full return to office is another tactic to force people out.
