Pros

Competitive vacation time and compensation

Cons

Unfortunately, like any other workplace, a horrible boss makes for a horrible working environment. I was especially disappointed in the inept HR department, who received numerous serious complaints regarding the behavior of my boss over the years and did nothing about it. Talented employees just continued to leave. I've heard stories from people in other departments - it's a great place to work if your department is well-run. My advice to job-seekers is this - if you get a funny feeling during your interview that something is "off", it probably is. Please don't let the vacation time and salary sway you. It's not worth it.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Vacation, parental leave, cafeteria, DEI.

Cons

I feel like decisions are made by people not involved in processes which results in day to day activities becoming more and more difficult. Unable to schedule projects to save their lives. So many last minute tests and drop in testing, theres almost no point to schedule testing.
