Pros

Great benefits and lots of vacation, PTO, sick days, and caregiver days.

Cons

Management chooses who they develop, no matter how much effort you put in. It’s like a popularity contest there to move up the ladder. The company used to be great to work for, but over the past few years it became extremely micromanaged.
