Pros
Zero paycheck deduction for health and dental benefits, nice location, diverse staff, free coffee.
Cons
Benefits: The company just announced a tiered network for hospitals, effective April 1. So if you go to the wrong hospital, you will pay $1000 in copay! That’s insane, nobody can afford that. Unfortunately, the best hospitals are on the non-preferred list (NY Presby), where you will be responsible for thousands of dollars. The dental clinic is increasingly inaccessible and quite impossible to make an appointment any sooner than 6 months, so basically useless. Management and culture: It’s a horrible place to work at. Backstabbing is rampant. Upper management does not support you or ignores you if you bring it up. It’s a highly vertical place and you are discouraged from speaking to anyone above your level. Upper management belittles you and is insanely arrogant. Infrastructure, software and other business tools are highly outdated. They will treat you poorly if you request something slightly more modern or updated. Work from home is forbidden. Dress policy is more formal than other comparable organizations. Employee morale is rock bottom, in some departments more than others. HR: HR is a joke. They make you fill out timesheet on a weekly basis. When I was hired, the onboarding HR rep discouraged the new hires from putting money aside for health expenses, claiming that with $0 copay in some clinics, you should not need any HSA. That is utterly wrong. You still have to pay for tons of things out of pocket. If you bring up issues of other employees boycotting you or impeding your work (and this is after talking to your supervisor who ignores you), HR also ignores you and blames it on you.
