Pros

It’s a nice enough company with a lot of friendly folks from all around the world. There is good work life balance and an acceptable amount of room for career advancement. The work environment is fairly relaxed and accommodating to specific employee needs.

Cons

Pay is within the normal range but on the lower end of the spectrum. Company has not been doing well in its industry due to powerful newcomers. Engineering department feels a bit dated and the corporate bureaucracy makes it troublesome to get work done from time to time. Company adopted a hybrid work model with Wednesday being the only remote day.

Pros

Very Nice Co-Workers No Micro Managment

Cons

If there is no micro management at this company, it is because there really isn't management at all. There is a lot of talk about innovation and improvement, but the infrastructure is so far behind the times (my team had no central place for documentation...SharePoint was accessible, but for whatever reason not used. Walking around the building gives one the sense you are at a company that is stuck in 2001. This doesn't bode well for a company that provides the services it does. (I don't mean to be harsh...there are a lot of great people here that do great work...but far too much time is spent in competition with other departments rather that collaborative work that could move the company forward.)
