Pros

Speaking only for the software office -- very supportive environment, interesting work, lots of freedom, flexibility, cooperation. Nice work environment.

Cons

While I was there there were almost no women. After I left I heard the entire department that was mostly women got laid off, and the rest quit. I'm sure they'd say it's a coincidence, but unless they hired already after recent layoffs there are NO WOMEN AT ALL in software development and that's suspicious to me. I already felt super awkward about working in a room full of well-paid white men, just down the hall from a room full of super diverse, low-paid contract workers, and now it's even worse.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
