Pros

Nice coworkers, new building, gym

Cons

They let go of most of their senior staff members due to "performance", replaced with kids in their early-mid 20's who management can abuse. Very high stress level, HR is awful, they have the tendency to lose job applications. You get penalized if you are 3 minutes late, yet supervisors are constantly asking for "volunteers" to stay an extra hour, infact even asked employees if they really needed to use a scheduled vacation day since many departments are short staffed.

Pros

Work-life balance is fine, depending on the group.

Cons

A lot of mediocre people. There's an overall lack of structure and direction. Management has questionable ability to plan. Office culture is similar your sophomore year in HS. Business has been declining and losing market share for multiple years.

Pros

There are a few really good people there, but trust me they are all looking to leave.

Cons

This company only cares about profit, you are just a number. They excuse and normalize bad behavior, people who are well-connected get away with horrific behavior and are never held accountable. Some have received large raises, while others are still waiting only to be told now things are frozen. An exodus is coming and they don't even care, so long as they get theirs. Nepotism and favoritism are always factors in who keeps their jobs and who doesn't. The only thing that matters is who you are buddies with.
