Pros

Great compensation, great benefits and 401K match. Great place to work if your self respect is for sale to the highest bidder. Co-workers were mostly a joy to work with.

Cons

The culture here is poisonous. Management is abusive and often slow to catch on to what is really going on here. Problems are not addressed between departments, for fear of "ruffling feathers", so no issues really ever get solved. Check your reason at the door, the processes in place here are often mind-bogglingly inept, and very slow to improve.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
