Pros

* Free lunch (Well..$8 credit at least) * Good lower management. They care about you doing well. * Good culture. No toxic co-workers or bosses.

Cons

* Upper management keeps handing down mandates and everyone just "has to follow" them. Many of these mandates have cut into efficiently with no obvious benefit. Sometimes it feels like they are instructing us to all to spend 1 hour doing extra work so someone up above can save 20 minutes. Quite literally been told to do things to make "exporting reports easier", and those things add up to a bunch of administration tasks when I should be working. * What used to be a great work from home culture is now moving to 3 days. Even if your team is majority remote, you will be expected to come in. Management explained that the people next to you are also part of your team. That simply isn't true. Everyone is busy with their own work. Every team has strict deadlines to meet which discourages abandoning your work to help someone else. The software is so wide and vast that the people next to you have likely 0 idea how to help anyway. * If you live near the office, expect to be forced to come in and spend every meeting on video calls anyway. Management thinks the solution to this is to have everyone on-site within a conference room. It makes little difference. * They have announced construction of a new office. A promise was broken on work from home sticking around. Then another promise about limited hybrid days was broken when they decided to increase it to 3. I fully expect a 5 day in office workweek once that office is built. * Dipping employee morale which management thinks will be solved by increasing in-office days. * Below average pay. Below average raises.

Pros

BCBS insurance/decent benefits. Good amount of PTO (4 weeks to start, holidays, and 2 floating holidays). WFH M/F and as needed. Solid company so job stability is good as well, which is important in this economy. Flexible in terms of appointments and schedules. Room for growth in your position. Most of mid-level management are kind and open to listening to you.

Cons

Definitely underpays compared to the industry standard across the board. Promises more money is coming year after year, but never delivers - senior management is the roadblock here - may not be the case for all departments though. Promotion does not always equal significant/decent pay raise. No sick days - lumped in with PTO instead. However, you can WFH when sick/as needed. Recently changed health insurance to no longer cover diagnostic testing/bloodwork at 100%, so you may get hit with a couple hundred dollar bill.
