We are dedicated to solving important problems and have had great success doing it. The morale, compensation, and benefits are phenomenal. You feel supported in what you do.

Cons

The having been some growing pains associated with the company's expanded activities. With expansion, there is less of a small company feel ("you don't know everyone anymore")

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.
