Pros

Management is reasonably responsive, flexible work environment, in general people are helpful and knowledgeable. The office environment fits well with my life - plenty of opportunities for exercise, great classes offered, good cafeteria with many options.

Cons

officially very stingy with vacation time - unofficially - depends on the relationships you build and if you are viewed as an asset to the company, there is some leeway

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
