Pros

Good pay Some people are nice

Cons

You have to search and ask for every single thing in this company, starting from your onboarding to everyday tasks. If you don’t go above and beyond to figure it out, you won’t. People hoard information and are passive aggressive when they want you to assume a responsibility. Direct communication is non-existent. One of the worst working cultures I’ve worked for and if you are smart, ambitious, have good ideas, are younger or a minority this place is not for you. Find an employer that practices what they preach and has technology and processes that don’t live in the 90’s. There is little to no transparency so things are disjointed all of the time. There isn’t a whole lot of communication so people are working 24/7 but I’m not sure on what because you don’t see a whole lot of results. But everyone is exhausted. I’ve never been more stressed out over daily work than I have here. Your health and well being are worth more than a paycheck.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
