Pros

Very Good Benefits and work life balance

Cons

I agree with the previous poster. The hiring practices are completely discriminatory. They primarily hire millennial's recruited from specific non-diverse universities and bring them in at the salary of a 20yr employee. If they wanted to honestly diversify the company, they would open up diverse leadership programs to internal candidates. While they advertise their recruitment numbers; they do advertise their minority retention numbers because we fly outta here for a more inclusive work environment.

Pros

They do pay well. Benefits are the same as other companies.

Cons

Bad management and it just kept getting worse. Conflicting rules for employees/departments. For example, some could work from home but others couldn't. They play a lot of games and co-workers are not friendly and back stabbing in general. Be careful of your best friend there because they'll have your job in no time. Couldn't trust anyone. Contractors had more rights then full-time employees. There is harassment, bullying and overall negative treatment to employees. Outdated cell phones, laptops and software. Hard when you're on a deadline with a project and you have your laptop break down. You'll sit on the phone with IT for hours trying to get it fixed and it probably won't get fix. Very long hours for nothing.
