Pros

Solid history of overall financial success.

Cons

Management fails to adequately assess risks - business strategy, customer base, process definition/documentation (lack thereof), process compliance assessment, and the inadequacy of resulting outputs and customer satisfaction, in spite of clear data showing ongoing issues traceable to these causes. Overall focus is on short-term revenue gains vs. Strategic Business Process analysis/execution/improvement to close clear gaps between processes and customer experience. Current path is fiscally unsustainable without significant changes in senior management perspective on culture and ROI of process compliance vs. breaking any "rules" necessary to achieve short-term, customer 'knee-jerk revenue promises, which RARELY actually manifest!!! This IS NOT 'rocket science', folks!!!

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
