Flexible schedule and good ERGs

Financial analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

9/80 schedule, every other Friday off. 401k match is decent but long vesting period. A lot of ERGs and events for people.

Cons

Employee morale is not what it used to be. Cafeteria is not great, food and the prices. Career development is slow, unless you get lucky.
