Pros

good health benefits fair salary good yearly bonus good relocation package work from home 1 to 2 days a week

Cons

No room for career advancement The promotion policy needs to be clear and equitably applied to all employees You cannot expect employees to stay when you freeze promotion cycles. This is not only demoralizing for the employees who were submitted for promotion, but it is also demoralizing for the other employees in the company. Too many initiatives upper level managment is out of touch and or negative at times hiring process is slow, burdensome and ineffective at best employee morale has quickly eroded in the last 6 months retention rates will continue to worsen
