Pros

Nice campus in Malvern, nice cafeterias, good benefits, bonus

Cons

“Cookie cutter” leadership with “similar to me” bias. This means that if managers like you and you are like them, then you are likely to succeed. Although they tout diversity, they don’t really understand the concept. It’s not a good place if you happen to have extra melanin. It is just the way it is. They mean well but the impact is still lacking. It’s not everywhere in the company but there are certain pockets with a toxic culture, i.e., VU.
