Terrible.

Pros

I get an office with a door and in general my direct supervisor isn't a micro manager. People rarely get fired, and if they do it takes years, so if you just want to do the minimum and get by, you'll have a job forever.

Cons

Theory and practice are two different things. The culture sounds great on paper, but it's not the same in practice. Compensation is great in theory, but for some reason it's never executed like theory. I feel like I'm being watched all the time and there's a general lack of accountability for the people who screw up. Instead, GP uses group punishment - instead of dealing with problem employees, everyone gets punished.

Pros

Work/life balance was great. Good overall team. I learned a lot.

Cons

Someone untrustworthy was promoted to be the boss. The salaries for this position were all different. Found that I was on the bottom range of the salaries, yet I was a top contributor.
