Pros

Superb coworkers. I didn't have to wait to get some time off.

Cons

Things have gone steadily downhill for a couple of years now. Poor work/life balance. Employees are often promised a work at home arrangement that never comes to fruition. Micromanaged environment that is highly stressful. Hourly workers (some with master's degrees) are treated like crap, and are not valued. This company seems bent on profits above all else, including our customers. Layoffs are common, especially for those over age 50.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
