Pros

Great coworkers and peers who are always willing to help.

Cons

The management is not the best and things are unorganized, so be prepared to work in chaos. They do not give great bonuses or raises, nor have a lot of PTO. If you would like a promotion you may find you already earn more than what they pay at the next level. So essentially they want you to do more work for the same or less pay. It seems like their way of encouraging you to stay in your role so they can hire externally.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
