Pros

outstanding benefits - generous 401k retirement matching

Cons

completely dysfunctional mangement - the "strategic plan" changes like the wind - project funding, staffing, prioritization changes weekly resulting in continuous turmoil, The arrogance of senior management means they cannot recognize that they have issues, and therefore the situation will neer improve; dysfuntional culture, toxic environment; short signed plan - company is trying to make the financials looks good for a spinoff

Pros

Lots of free snacks. Some truly talented people work here.

Cons

DEI is still being implemented like it is 2020. They have changed the name to D&I but the principals are the same. Meritocracy is treated with suspicion.
