Pros

remote but that is changing and more employees are asked to return

Cons

Everyone is leaving. They've been under a transformation and it's only gotten worse. Compensation is low. toxic culture, they do not consider the workload, they do not care much about the people like they try to make out—very poor leaders and structure for anyone in HR. A punishing pace and global demands show that most employees are burned out and looking for exits. No DEI work at all and toxic racist leaders are tolerated.
