Pros

Salary & bennies very generous. Lots of smart, hardworking people trying to do the right thing.

Cons

Dysfunctional leadership in Operations struggle to make decisions. Rounds of layoffs have shed serious talent and concentrated an increasing workload on remaining staff - work/life balance is unachievable. Negligible diversity in senior leadership style - "strong leader" = aggressive autocrat. Morale incredibly low and people are stressed.

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.
