Pros

Salary and benefits are pretty good. On site gym is extremely nice.

Cons

Very little room for growth. You will end up working for a nit-wit that participated in Principal’s leadership development program. Morons then get thrust into high paying roles without any common sense.

Pros

Flextime off. Inclusive culture. Opportunity for growth.

Cons

Experience varies significantly from department to department. Not very good at replacing and keeping employees. A lot of employees are expected to take on old employees workload with no recognition or additional compensation.
