Pros

Good benefits with time off. Nice facilities. A few good managers that are good leaders. Decent pay even though it's been said that it's given so employees can hire cooks and house cleaners so they can spend more time with family after their 10 hour day.

Cons

flexible schedules are rare anymore. So many departments operate at core hours, 8-5, or max 10 hour days for exempt staff. Q4, mandatory overtime late nights during the week and every weekend, including holidays. Earlier this year, mass layoffs. Company too lean as not enough staff to work all the system problems. All employees who are not customer facing will be required to take the week off after Labor Day to save money on Admin expenses. Departments spread across all locations which adds to siloed work environment. Executive leadership is clueless and can't speak to what the issues are as mid level managers aren't communicating real issues. No work life balance and no focus on healthy behaviors with all the long hours and stress.

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.
