Pros

Good pay. Great quality content. That’s about it.

Cons

Incredibly toxic environment where managers manipulate your feelings to gain trust and loyalty. Borderline abusive behavior. Unfair and frankly personal assessment of performance (if the boss likes you, you will get promoted, better pay). No work life balance. HR is laughable, shares exit interview information with managers and doesn’t follow through to actually improve circumstances that cause COUNTLESS people to quit. Lots of pseudo executives using corporate jargon who don’t really understand what it means or how to really get results. New employees who try to negotiate higher salaries upon hire will be treated poorly once they start. There’s an underlying feeling of “you’re lucky to work here” that’s a tad delusional.
