      Pros

      good FTO policy good opportunity for career development flexible work arrangements

      Cons

      health insurance sucks - United annual reviews- everything's made up and the points don't matter more and more pressure to be in-office despite team members being remote

      Pros

      Three years in and still LOVE it. Great leadership. Work-like balance. Principal invests in their employees with training and professional development. It's very telling when literally thousands of employees have been there for 20-25-30+ years.

      Cons

      First time in a large company. Sometimes it is tricky to find the right internal partner to get the answer you need.
