Pros

Competitive salary, flexibility to work remote, and benefits.

Cons

Due to the hierarchical structure, the decision making process in general was painfully slow therefore did not feel empowered as an employee. Lots of operational inefficiencies between the cross functional teams. Promotions to manager position without leadership training results in bad people managers. Career growth opportunities are limited. Frequent layoffs and budget cuts go hand in hand adding to the operational inefficiencies across the board.

Pros

Good benefits, flexible work schedule for some departments

Cons

no clear picture on how to move up, when you ask HR for the next level job requirements they can't provide it. If you look at other job openings you have no way of knowing if the job is a move up or the same pay level and again when you try to find out HR is no assistance.
