Pros

Beautiful building and campus downtown, cafeteria is very nice. The people are very friendly, and work hard.

Cons

This company has no interest in updating its ways to fit into 2022. Opportunities for advancement are rare, usually requiring you to join a project team, and those run a grueling pace. Managers are paranoid and watching their back, then harder on you as a result. Lots and lots of stress and burnout abound, which is discussed, but not fixed. Diversity talk is lip service. Older white men are in the advantage here. Female management is rare.

Pros

HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

Cons

The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
