Pros

Work-life balance. For the most part, there aren't great demands on your time beyond a normal 40-hour week. Remote work opportunities. I wouldn't consider staying here if I had to go into an office or couldn't work remotely.

Cons

Poor raises: typically 1%-2%. That isn't a raise - it doesn't even keep pace with inflation. Lack of care/involvement from management: it seems like even your direct managers only contact you when absolutely necessary. Example: "Time to set your goals for the year!" kinds of conversations, where they expect you to get excited but it's really hard to fake your enthusiasm.

Pros

Large company with a lot of projects with possible opportunities.

Cons

Can get lost in all the processes, people and business. Hard to stand out. Burn out easily without recognition or care.

Pros

- Paychecks clear - Average benefits (but nothing special) - Some interesting work to be done

Cons

- Massive woke ideology to the point of a cult-like adherence to DEI, ESG, etc. nonsense - The company treats people like children with "wellness sessions," "book clubs," etc. - There's a massive, massive, massive amount of wasted money on useless efforts from HR - Company clearly does not hire the best & brightest - Company entered acquisition mode since they cannot be creative any more
