Pros

Higher salaries compared to other education organizations. Great retirement match and benefits. Good amount of PTO. Good name to have on your resume. Most people are nice.

Cons

The expectation is to overwork. No transparency into how to get promoted. Job descriptions are unclear, as work just gets thrown at you anyway. You won't climb up the ladder unless you're one of the favorites. They say they care about diversity, but they don't do anything to recruit, promote, or retain people of color. Too much politics.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
