Pros

Work is interesting and assignments are varied.

Cons

Very poor management; employees are bullied and blamed for the ineptness of management; yearly employee survey is a joke; caste system where employees' pay grade is referred to often (P4's should be doing xxx) which is a joke because P4s make the same salaries as P3's. Recent RTO with no good reason other than "market" trends. Health insurance is terrible, very high out-of-pocket maxes and prescription costs. Cronyism is rampant. Everything I was told at my interview was a lie. In 2026, they are going to unlimited time off which will now require management approval (this is not a good thing). No sick days. Gotcha culture of setting employees up to fail and blaming them for managers' incompetence.

Pros

Some good things include work from home being available if you’re too far to commute to an office. There is a good 401K match. You don’t have to work holidays.

Cons

The cons… I have worked metrics driven positions, but this feels too intense. I don’t like the “big brother” feeling of always being watched. Even if you’re in a ready status and waiting for calls, if you’re not moving your mouse, you’re considered idle and that hurts your metric. The sick/PTO buckets took a little getting used to. I didn’t realize using my sick time also took hours from my PTO. I’ve been used to those being separate things. I also hated feeling “new” to the job. You would learn something one way, but then be told to do the process another way only to be told later that you’re supposed to do it a different way. It became hard to feel confident in my job.
