Pros

Good company culture with lots of fun activities and events, okay benefits, encourage good work/life balance, promotes good environmental practices with recycling/sustainability initiatives and solar panels, promotes ESI/personal growth/DEI/community engagement/etc. Many people who leave for other companies due to salary, etc. have come back (grass isn't always greener/pros might outweigh cons for them)

Cons

Some weird office politics with favoritism/nepotism for promotions/hiring/firing, can be clique-y, low salaries, constant construction/remodeling, stuck in certain way of doing things and not wanting to change due to a "CEO's way or the highway" mindset. Lots of old guard who've been with the company for decades and many newer people but lots of turnover for employees who've been there for a few years due to low salaries/benefits or office politics

It’s okay

Pros

Good behavioral screening, most of my coworkers are great people.

Cons

The work life balance isn’t as described (at least for my department). They offer perks like fitness classes in the middle of the day but expect you to stay late for using them. They also will not give you much for increases once you’re in (highest on my team last year was 2.5%) and it’s very difficult to get promoted unless you are related to or dating your superiors (this happened in my department and another friend’s department).
