Benefits are good, especially after 5 years of employment all kids in the family are eligible to get certain portion of college fees re-imbursement.

Cons

- Promotions are based on favoritism not based on talent . This defeats the main purpose of collegebound (SAT exams are to bring fairness for college admissions). This leads to bad culture in the organization -

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.
