Pros

Good overall place to work, some great benefits

Cons

Workife balance heavily depends on which department you're in. Really unfair conditions without cause. Some people get to have remote work while others don't; I've experienced not being granted professional development opportunities while others at the same level have them; compensation is all over the place; culture at some places can be really warm and encouraging, while other departments lack boundaries and can be toxic.

Pros

Not a one. That is all.

Cons

Their hiring process and determinations are based on many other factors rather than talent and credentials. Over ten applications for various positions, for which I have decades of experience, and four degrees. One of which is a doctorate! If you aren't an alum, you're scum.
