Pros

Pay is ok, not great, benefits are good, very good 401k match

Cons

Engineering department is EXTREMELY racist. Most leadership members got their positions by default for continuing to work there for 20+ years. They promote their friends, not based on actually being qualified, but because they’re a man, or white, or both. They only apply that actual rules and policies to people that aren’t well liked. Turnover rate is very high because they literally run all of the good talent out the door. Very hostile, toxic, gossipy work environment.
