Pros

The salary and benefits are great. Overall, the company is a good place to work and they are very patient focused. There can be opportunity here if you play your cards right. I enjoy working here and am generally proud.

Cons

The environment is political (toxic at times) and can be difficult to achieve results due to differing opinions and strong personalities. It takes some resilience and patience to work here. There are also many different priorities that are defocusing people and causing stress.

Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.
