Pros

Lots of opportunities along the midwest, 401k PTO and pension. Strange think to have at a young age but at least this company makes an effort to force those things on employees. They also do many events to help the community.

Cons

A bit of work. The field is in much need of engineers; that said the age groups could be a bit more diverse.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
