Pros

health benefits were great salary was good for the first few years out of college, but you can make much more elsewhere by the time you're 30 employee discount on things like ziploc bags, which I'd otherwise buy at target

Cons

there are countless reviews here stating the arbitrary nature of evaluating ICs, and they're really all true. when I was a supervisor, the manager I worked for used a buggy, broken spreadsheet to hastily calculate everyone's performance metrics, and there were plenty of errors. people lost their jobs over it, probably mistakenly. once, someone made a pretty harmless, sarcastic joke about a colleague, and we had to have like 5 HR meetings over it.

Pros

Great pay and benefits if you plan to work there for 5 or more years.

Cons

Far too much micromanagement. Every second of your work is monitored
