Pros

If you're in product engineering the hours are pretty decent. Rarely will you work over 40 - 45 hours. PTO benefits are really good with four weeks off.

Cons

This used to be a great place to work. The company cared about the employees, there were social events, and benefits were decent. After being purchased by a private equity firm that started to go downhill. Private equity firms want to "pump and dump" and that's what is going on here. Benefits have been chipped away at (reduced 401(k) contribution and higher employee contribution to health benefits with worse actual benefits are two examples). Very little opportunity for growth (training budget might buy you a few books but you won't get to go to any training or conferences). And don't get on the wrong side of management or HR because they'll throw you under the bus at the first opportunity.

Pros

Team Culture Flexible Schedule (hybrid model) Entry level pay is great

Cons

The position that was presented during the hiring process was not the position that was ultimately delivered. Employees have very little influence over organizational decisions; the prevailing message is to either accept ongoing changes or move on. The company sets exceptionally high performance expectations but does not appear to fully recognize how constant organizational changes, limited job security, frequent separations and internal restructuring, and unmet commitments can directly impact employees' ability to succeed. These factors create significant obstacles to achieving the standards the company expects.
