Current Employee

The benefits are pretty good. There is an update to the vacation days available coming in 2024 where there are 25 vacation days. There is a 401(k) benefit with Fidelity that has a low expense ratio for managed Year-based retirement funds, sick days when needed, 10 holidays + 1 flex holiday, and 4 shutdown days. Also there is a pension and other benefits. Bereavement is up to 10 days per year. Medical, dental, and vision are reasonable. Some jobs require on-site work each day but some are 3 days/week on-site and the rest can be virtual.
