Pros

The employee benefits and the immediate people I worked with were great and supportive.

Cons

They have a strict vaccine mandate that they implemented for all employees in a passive aggressive way and insensitively fired and denied accommodations for myself and many others two weeks before the holidays (we got the official mandate communication two days before Thanksgiving, very distastefully done). They didn't bat an eye or make any hesitation to fire otherwise competent and loyal employees who weren't in "compliance". Wokeness is creeping into the company-wide communications more and more each day. It was quite the experience being forbidden to return to the office and reading inclusion, diversity, equity and pronoun emails come through while living with the daily terror of being axed from my job because of my "diverse" opinion on what should go into my own body. They also seem very hesitant to let go of their antiquated ways and let employees enjoy the flexibility and autonomy of working from home even though that's what everyone did successfully for the last 18 months. They have a new policy to work from home 2 days a week for some positions, but remind you incessantly that they want to see you in the office and don't want you to work from home on Mondays or Fridays, etc.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
