Pros

Competitive PTO and a hybrid schedule were the only two reasons I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

My senior "manager" for the last year must have had dirt on somebody upstairs. That is the only explanation for the complete incompetence, laziness, backstabbing, etc, I witnessed go on while they somehow kept their position during the company's lay-offs. I would never recommend any friend or family member to work here.

Pros

You're able to work with much of the latest technology. Promotions are handled very objectively. Benefits are excellent.

Cons

There can be a bit too much red tape in terms of approvals needed to get things done.
