Poorly run company.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are typically very good: 401k match and pension contributions are fully vested at 3 years. Corporate campus aesthetic very nice. Most front-line managers tend to be very nice, reasonable people.

Cons

This is where it gets interesting. This is THE worst run company, at a high level, that I have ever encountered. The return-to-office move in 2019 was a complete disaster that accomplished nothing but lowered productivity, lowered morale and increased failure. This was a heavy-handed, incompetent move that did not do ANYONE any good. Whoever pushed that disaster should be fired on the spot. Ironically, the Covid-19 pandemic trashed that initiative, and I understand that productivity has now improved. Many departments within the company, HR in particular, are highly passive aggressive. There has been no improvement in this area despite an avalanche of complaints over the years.

Pros

Good retirement benefits which go up with your age (9% automatically for me). Some fun people. Interesting work. Had a lot of PTO for this year.

Cons

Elimination of WFH. It's horrible how they did this. Many people are leaving for only this reason. It affects 4000 employees. Won't always promote based upon specs like years of service. And next year they're getting unlimited PTO, which most people think will cut down on PTO. Or you decide to take what you used to get. High health insurance costs.
