Pros

In the past had a social conscience but that went out the window with the new greedy executive team. Good benefits but those have also been reduced. Generally good people/environment but large areas within the company are turning over and not in a good way.

Cons

The most incompetent IT leadership you'll come across. Zero leadership skills and even worse technical competence. The HR organization is known to be run by greedy, backstabbing people who promote and cover up corruption - do not trust them at all costs.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
