Pros

They hire interns and allow them to learn.

Cons

The C-Suite is the biggest problem of this company. They exploit employees at all levels, set crazy and unrealistic deadlines, never help an employee maintain proper work-life balance and still don't give a promotion or pay raise opportunities. All the raises are for themselves. Employees shouldn't even ask about this injustice as they will find an excuse to kick you after that.

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.
