Pros

There are some good workers there that know what they are doing. But they are usually tasked with too much. The people are generally kind and upbeat. I have met some of my very best friends there.

Cons

The company has had layoffs for 3 straight years. I finally didn't make the cut this time around. Upper management cut high performers rather than those who are status quo.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
