Pros

Flexible work from home policy.

Cons

Before COVID the company prioritized hard work and commonality. During COVID, HR and Leadership pivoted hard to DEI, emphasizing differences and creating a lot of awkward employee interactions. Company set diversity goals that are essentially quotas so it’s easy to get promoted if you fit those boxes and impossible if you don’t. Company prides itself on being lean which really just means it’s employees have to work harder but they only aim to pay average for the area. It’s a great place if you like to work hard and have job security but less so if you like to be rewarded for hard work or want to work in a meritocracy. I hear company also ignored employee input and decided to move its main office to somewhere that nobody wants to work.
