Conflicted

Pros

Unlimited PTO, retirement benefits, health insurance is expensive but the coverage is very good.

Cons

Constant reorganizations and changes in leadership. Reorganizations are brutal and demoralizing for those left behind. Roles are dumped on the survivors with zero compensation or upward mobility, "lean into it" is a constant catch phrase. Despite consistently delivering stellar performance every year, efforts and work were not only unacknowledged but, quite frankly others would take credit for work. If you value your self-worth and career growth, stay away. You are just a name on an organization chart. Nothing more.
