Pros

It's hands down the best company I worked at as far as culture is concerned. Things can be better such as compensation and benefits. I mean they pay good, but you'll have to negotiate to get what you want. But work life balance is great and no micro management. Ofcourse this depends on your manager and department. Great job security and you get a yearly bonus.

Cons

For those work in IT, you will know where the cons are coming from. Questionable decisions having been going on at the top of the chain and it's affecting everyone. This is not pointing a finger at one person, it's multiple. Very talented workers are leaving despite all the good things i mentioned before. It's not the same as it was prior to 2021. But pay should be better. Like every company if you want to make more money, you'll have to leave to somewhere else.

Pros

Our team is genuinely one of the company’s greatest strengths. People consistently show up for each other, whether someone has a question, needs guidance, or just needs a second set of eyes. There’s a real sense of kindness and collaboration here — everyone jumps in without hesitation, and it creates an environment where you feel supported, valued, and able to do your best work.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of formal training when you start, which makes it difficult to feel fully prepared in your role. Management is often busy and not always available when questions come up, so getting timely guidance can be inconsistent. Processes and directions also tend to shift quickly — announcements are made, and then expectations change shortly after, which creates confusion. At times, upper leadership communicates in a way that feels more like talking at employees rather than engaging with them, and concerns raised by staff can be overshadowed by comments about leadership bonuses or priorities that don’t align with what employees are asking for.
