Pros

Some teams are allowed 1 to 2 days remote work

Cons

Senior management doesn't care about employees HR doesn't care about employees. Only works with senior leadership and never addresses employees concerns Senior leadership forces managers to give bad reviews to employees they want to get rid of down the road Favoritism is blatantly obvious yet continues So many high performers have left and others actively looking, no one sees a future in this company Too many negatives, better to just avoid joining this place
