Pros

decent benefits, good work-life balance, people

Cons

- constant reorganization (had 12 different managers since I've worked there) - disconnected from people using the products - antiquated products - brown-nosing is the only way to get ahead - backstabbing employees in it for themselves - wayyyy too many mangers versus people who do actual work - soulless; pretend to care about education but only concerned about profits - insane amount of layoffs, regardless of your production and talent; be prepared to only be a number (i.e. a very talented employee I worked with who was known to be battling cancer was laid off recently)

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
