Pros

Good 9 to 5. No Weekend work. Good Vacation time (at least for veteran Employees) Given a fair amount of autonomy. The people are great.

Cons

HSA is only affordable medical but it sucks when you have a family and can't keep it funded. Company used to respect the work-life balance but that is now gone with no more reoccurring telecommuting. Pay is pretty mediocre. Holiday Bonus is a pie. Monetary Bonuses are usually not enough to cover Christmas gifts. Company has spent tax breaks on stock buybacks and raising the minimum hourly wage to $15/Hour. So congrats to that one person who wasn't making that. Every year they'll spin something to us as a "great new benefit" but all it really is, is a reduction in a previous benefit.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
