Pros

Beautiful campus, down to earth work environment, flexible hybrid work environment, friendly co-workers, advanced technology, nice benefits like unlimited PTO & affordable health insurance.

Cons

Feels very unstable and everyone is constantly in fear of layoffs. They rolled out a voluntary leave program last year and this year canceled raises for everyone (except upper management who still got their bonuses). Hard to stay motivated when you don't know how long you will have a job...

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
