Pros

It's really easy to get into because they are unwilling to ever change their software test. It's been the same for almost 15 years and all the questions and answers are on Glassdoor.

Cons

It's an old man club in management and they heavily underpay their employees and overwork the ones that are hardworking. The promotion system is severely broken. The management sucks and is super unorganized and will never stand up for the people they represent/manage.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
