Pros

- Friendly, dedicated, hardworking employees - Benefits are still good, although the company has been steadily cutting back for several years. - Generally good work-life balance and flexible wfh policy

Cons

- Constant layoffs and reorganization. - Compensation is well-below market rate and annual increases are anemic at best. - Steady reductions in staffing means all employees are overworked and stressed. - Employee recognition is nonexistent. There's no longer any acknowledgement for years of service, beyond what individual managers might provide.
