Pros

- Work policies are common for employees all around the world, and the well being of employees is held high for everyone equally. - Doing the right thing the right way is being developed as a culture. - Promotes personal development. - Good clarity on company's direction of growth and objectives. - Quality work is generally recognised and appreciated.

Cons

- Haven't had to deal with something that can be termed 'super interesting' yet. - Employee Engagement Activities feel like those are just for name sake. - Yearly hike generally beats the inflation, but not by a good margin. - Interestingly, have encountered a reasonable number of closed minded employees in different departments, in India, leading to a feeling of toxicity. And management seems to stay silent, not proactively trying to make the work environment welcoming to cultivate a growth mentality.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
