Pros

People - especially individual contributors believe in doing the right thing and encourage one another and want to perform as a team

Cons

Politics starting from the lowest managerial level . Individuals being asked to work on stuff that has no value but to grab the limelight from your "competitative" team. A lot of managers blatantly violating HR policies . Some managers don't allow work life balance .

Pros

- Salary was fair (the rest not so much/benefits are not that great either) - I liked my peers that I worked with

Cons

- Missing fair policies across the board - Terrible decision making - Departments function separately, with separate rules - Creativity takes a back seat on everything, despite what they tell you - Management plays favorites (if you are chosen, you get to have work from home days and more, if you are not chosen, good luck) - Given that this is a family oriented company, they sure don't give you a good maternity leave - This company's main concern is profit sadly. And don't tell me that this is why we have jobs. The profit can be split up more so that we have better benefits and maternity/paternity leave etc. Instead they keep it all so that they can show how much they are growing YOY.

Some very smart and dedicated people. Good culture. Excellent products that makes customers happy. Decent pay and benefits (with some exceptions, see below).

Cons

Highly political environment. Benefits slowly but surely deteriorated. No 401K matching. Smart people already left. Antiquated technology. Favoritism.
