Pros

Good benefits and vacation accrual, ability to work from home, flexible hours. Lots of great and talented people, just not so much in management.

Cons

Medium sized corporation trying to act BIG and stifling employees in the process. Most of the HR policies are outdated and actually de-motivate employees. Policies treat employees like children instead of capable adults. Other policies encourage employees to talk behind each other's back instead of addressing issues. Company does nothing to train managers, and the consequence is employees leaving because they are sick and tired of being demeaned, shamed, and basically being treated badly. Just because you have a degree does not mean you know how to manage people.

Pros

Great with previous leadership. But then...

Cons

New leadership is not as dedicated to employees as previous (although bonuses have been better). New middle management there is a lot of nepotism. Once a stable company, layoffs have been a common occurrence since COVID.
