Pros

401K is matched 50% up to the max amount allowed and only 3 years to fully vested. Most holidays are preceded by an early release Friday. Most people are helpful and have a good work ethic.

Cons

It's a very large, corporate company that is not growing organically but instead by acquisition of other smaller companies. They have also recently outsourced a few of their key departments which makes getting any real help when you need it very challenging. Additionally, some of their depts and teams are highly siloed, which means you can get stuck in the middle of a situation where two depts are asking for information that you cannot provide, except to ask those teams to talk to each other instead of you. It can be highly frustrating.

Pros

Fair compensation. Amazing retirement plant - 50% 401(k) match from 1% to 75% of bi-weekly compensation. Obviously there is the IRS limit, but you have option to max out that limit earlier.

Cons

None that I can identify

Pros

If you are cool with regressing into a zero impact worker it’s a very easy company to coast at and it’s largely incentivized.

Cons

Zero professional dignity. Your stakeholders will be some of the dumbest people you’ve ever met and the company rewards this. Everything gets mangled into some 5 year olds vision and the spend on mediocrity is insane. They hate technology you’ll never get access and all software decisions are made through the lens of how some corpo who doesn’t work would want to use it. Couldn’t stand the people I had to deal with and just all around anti technology anti productivity kind of place, just crazy.
