Pros

A wide array of average benefits. Some flexible schedules.

Cons

3-year 401k vesting. Very low PTO accrual. Bad management. Sentinel program management is horrible. The job postings are very misleading and managers do not understand how to construct an effective team. The culture is very toxic and turnover is high. Unrealistic expectations and they bully people into quitting. Avoid at all costs.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
