Pros

Work/life balance is good, solid benefits, relaxed atmosphere

Cons

Where do I start? The company is callous toward its employees and will do anything to save money, including changing performance evaluations to save on bonus payouts. The organization lacks vision, it reorgs every year, the workloads are growing and growing as staff cuts cut deeper and deeper with no compensation. It's such a colossally huge company, it's impossible to make impactful decisions to product. It rewards status quo and discourages innovative thinking by penalizing those who question approved practice.

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.
