Pros

My position is programming, so I can't attest to the conditions of the many other positions. However, here's everything I enjoy and take advantage of when opportunities arise: - The environment is relaxed - The work is flexible unless you're on a high-priority project - Everyone is nice and approachable - Great team building exercises - Fun department outings - Depending on your department, you can participate in special summer hours that allow you put in more work Mon-Thurs to get off early on Fridays - Chef table Wednesdays and Food truck Thursdays and occasional other trucks like Rita's Ice Cream - Free special events throughout the year like Christmas and during the Spring there's a company picnic, but it's more like a fair - Occasionally go out to eat with management - Occasional wine tasting - Discount employee wine & spirit store - Free coffee, teas, and fruit - Multiple cafes on campus - Meetings have food; they work around your dietary restrictions if you're invited/required to attend the meeting - Work isn't an all-day grind One thing I've heard about but haven't used yet is the dry cleaning service on Thursdays.

Cons

- It can be hard to find someone that has the information you need -- many applications are in-house products developed years ago, so getting specific information to make progress on a project can be a task all on its own - The work can be fast paced, but other times things can go slow (You know what I mean if you've had to use enterprise level workflow management software) -- it's usually not a problem though

Pros

* Historically, a company people were genuinely proud to work for—strong culture, clear values, and a sense of loyalty *I could have seen myself building a long-term career here and often spoke highly of the company to others *Strong early-career development and brand recognition

Cons

*Erosion of trust driven by abrupt, poorly communicated decisions *5-day in-office mandate for some offices rolled out with ~2 months notice, removing autonomy employees previously had, adding unnecessary strain to already demanding roles, and significantly disrupting employees’ day-to-day lives *Parental leave benefits were significantly reduced in a way that feels misaligned with the culture and “family-owned” values the company has historically emphasized. This change has been a meaningful source of frustration and disappointment for many employees *Poor communication on major changes—including benefits and office policy updates, which were not consistently or transparently shared *Employee feedback does not appear to be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, even when concerns are raised through formal channels * The culture has shifted dramatically. What used to feel fun and energizing now feels rigid and overly monitored, with less trust and autonomy than before *As a result, the company risks losing strong, previously loyal employees and becoming less competitive in attracting new talent
