Pros

I'm looking to get out.

Cons

Simply too much to put into a short paragraph. Here is what you should know: their corporate culture is not what they tout. It is a top heavy organization that thrives on leading by fear. They believe their current culture issues are just "perception" and that this can be fixed by instating a "no alcohol at company events" policy. No one wants to speak up due to fear of retaliation, which is a real fear.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
