Pros

Great benefits, PTO, 401K, great coworkers

Cons

Yearly merit increases of 3% are not going to keep people in seats. They need to put more action behind enhancing their culture. They say the right things supporting their employees but it falls flat because they won't open their wallet and invest in the employees. There should be quarterly outings and BBQs and money for escape rooms to increase team building. They need to start competing on a culture level of start up IT companies that young people want to be at. How hard is it to give out company swag to employees who aren't customer facing?

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
