Pros

Good Work Life Balance and Good benefits

Cons

Company values include: speak up culture and equity, but middle management retaliates against anyone who disagrees and displays tangible favoritism. No guidelines on how to grow and develop while promotions are awarded discriminately to members of the in-group

Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.
