Pros

Pay, benefits and perks all great. The company and many of the employees are big on charitable contributions and care about the community.

Cons

IT really frowns upon remote work, which is so surprising for a high-tech company. There were some REALLY bad managers who caused multiple good employees to leave, but even though HR and upper management was aware of the problems they did nothing. As the company grew, a lot of new management came in and the culture began to change. Less work-life balance - those putting in really long hours were the most valued. High turn-over in IT.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
