Pros

good pay, great benefits, friendly people, excellent parental leave policy, free transit pass, good wellness program

Cons

the culture is really stuck and fear-based, leadership doesn't want change, and many people go terribly underutilized and just waste their day at their desk. vacation PTO is not great, start accruing at 12 days a year. decisions are not made or communicated in transparent way, your work not well-tied to goals and priorities, and employees not treated as adept in their fields. they often hire outside consultants to tell them what their employees are already saying. many processes are quite political.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, free transit pass, vacation accrual carryover, paid holidays.

Cons

Executives political correctness rules EVERYTHING and employees are not hired for what they could contribute, but are rather viewed through the lens of the 'equity and social-justice' program which is blatantly racist and discriminatory.
