Pros

It was a great company to work for at first. Then they started acquire other companies and things changed.

Cons

If you are hired via an acquisition your job is probably safe, but if you are a direct hire it is likely you will be let go first should the company decide to downsize.

Pros

None since the old leadership left

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the interview promises of talk about “work-life balance” or “family values”, it’s strictly public relations. The reality is a severe double standard in leadership. This place is full of long tenure favorites regularly takes time off with zero notice and passing their workload onto others expecting them to drop their plans at a minute’s notice. If you are NOT one of the favorites and you take time off for a family emergency or personal illness, even if it’s unpaid, you are immediately placed on the chopping block under the guise of “structure reorganization.” Meanwhile the favorites do minimum work, continue to collect their bonuses and taking off whenever they want. If you value your career growth and life outside of work, avoid. All you get here is stagnation with zero room for growth.
