Pros

Great work conditions; they give themselves the means of their ambitions. Enjoyed working with high skilled, brilliant people on ambitious projects. Best-in-class standards and ethics. Excellent pay and benefits.

Cons

A lot of unecessary office politics. Leadership more command-and-control than collaborative. Despite being an innovative industry, the many compliance issues and linear processes tend to stiffle innovative initiatives, pity.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
