Pros

I enjoy working here, I've been here 10 years. However most, team leads/managers are great to work for. D&I is kind of getting better (but meetings, presentations, etc about it are getting old), great collaboration with colleagues.

Cons

Pay is very low - small or no raises as you advance, bonuses are fixed unless you get promoted. Salary is MUCH lower than industry average. They used to justify this with benefit packages and Own the Way you Work. However, post pandemic that's not unique and our packages get worse every year. Upper management doesn't really interact with more junior employees. Depending on what department you are in or start in - there isn't as much room to grow as others.
