Pros

Good work/life balance Middling pay Many smart and professional coworkers Decent Benefits A well intentioned mission They will continue to make money and be successful at a macro level with almost no thought required.

Cons

Leadership is chaotic and insensitive (one of the highest level Tech org people has said flippant and disrespectful things about DE&I) Lots of turnover currently, without rehiring positions that have left. HR department is clueless and chaotic as well (I haven't known who to talk to on that team ever while working here and it changes maybe once per quarter). Bad collaboration/communication between departments Budget is tight and pennies are pinched despite increasing market value Hard to move up the ranks (but this is being addressed and seems genuine)
