Pros

For the most part, you get to work with some great people. The org is structured, but not stuffy, and an overall casual and supportive environment.

Cons

Management and HR are definitely not your support. It’s like a clique and secret society. While the org is structured, the departments, not so much. Management not trustworthy at all and very secretive. They also play favorites. You have to be very careful there and be able to play politics extremely well. Salary range is a bit on the lower side and there had been a lot of complaints on underpaying minorities, in addition to being overlooked for promotions. This place does seem to be a revolving door. Oh and pricey medical benefits plans. $900+/month to cover myself and my children.

Pros

There are opportunities to work on teams and projects that are doing cool and interesting things. The company also has good name recognition and has a real impact in the world.

Cons

1.) Pay is definitely on the lower end compared to what you can get elsewhere. 2.) Lots of legacy systems that aren't well maintained. 3.) The tech union takes up way too much air. It's largely filled with oversensitive people with petty grievances. As tech employees we're treated with kid gloves compared to the rest of the company, but the union would have you believing we're oppressed.
