Pros

-25 Days PTO -Solid bonus program when company performance is good -401k is quite solid -values and culture are good on paper

Cons

-Health insurance was expensive and bad, and has only gotten worse -Other benefits continue to shrink -constant re-orgs with little to no long term plan. Many re-orgs undo previous ones -Huge and chaotic push towards genAI -Little to no actionable feedback from leadership -Several years of constantly asking for more from teams without offering real growth, promotions, or compensation. The work has become incredibly demanding, stressful, and overwhelming for teams -Wants to be a tech company without paying like one; raises are dismal. -Micromanagement from leaders focused on the wrong thing -Senior leadership that doesn't care about their people -Quietly dropped language about diversity and inclusion

Pros

Generous amount of time off. Large company so the benefits were good. Opportunities for growth.

Cons

Micro-management. Too many meetings and not enough time to do the actual work. Some long-term co-workers were prickly and demanding with unreasonable expectations. Due to this, there was low morale.
