Pros

They have a world class benefits package and facility is clean. There are many friendly and helpful coworkers as well.

Cons

New management is preoccupied with gimmicky wall posters, LCD displays spouting propaganda, ships bell to ring "when something good happens." It's become a very "woke"/big brother type of atmosphere. Decision making is reflexive and occasionally poorly thought out. Product development is very slow.

Pros

The people working here encourage one another to be their best self. Even if errors are made, they are handled in a timely manner and with professionalism. Even with all the economic changes, pay and benefits rank among the best.

Cons

If you work hard, there is opportunity for growth, unless you do not have a degree. Without a degree your chances of moving forward are limited. Not all department managers are included in the decisions that upper management makes.
