Pros

- high base salary - good medical benefits, there are other benefits that look good but everything is a service model so it's very difficult to navigate and there is no real HR to go to because it's an HR Service model only really. So it's very difficult to navigate.

Cons

- They do have good medical benefits, but not good parental leave benefits compared to companies. 2 weeks paid for fathers, 8 weeks paid for mothers. - employees only stay because they're on a pension plan, which stopped around 2023. So nobody wants to change and nobody will leave, it's a very top heavy workforce with old practices. - No vision, buying companies for IP and then selling at a good price with no real innovation The list could continue, if you're ok with just showing up and pushing paper around, and I mean actual paper because they are the ones keeping dunder mifflin in business, then this is the company for you.

Pros

Honestly, this place is incredible. They take care of their employees, they provide great health insurance and retain. It's the kind of place that you want to get into and stay. Rarely do people leave.

Cons

Bureaucracy is a problem in any large company. Some decisions are made too slowly.
