Pros

Great/low cost benefits - namely health insurance Pay is generally competitive, average in this market Exciting work, company has great potential Some groups are genuinely great to work with

Cons

Zero boundaries Work/life balance is constantly discussed and emphasized but quickly surpassed by the new project or priority of the week High performers end up picking up the slack of poor quality and/or remote new hires Roles are often backfilled by candidates lacking the experience or skills needed to succeed Some areas of the organization are plagued with ineffective people managers Human Resources is utterly incompetent when it comes to the basics
