      Pros

      Flexible work schedule, great work colleagues and atmosphere.

      Cons

      Complete lack of transparency from management on discussions regarding career progression, employees are actively told to be patient for promotions while there is no movement towards allowing progression internally. The department hasn’t had any significant promotions in a long time so there is a lot of people stuck at the same level for years. Current writers are also encouraged by management to do the work of senior positikms knowing that they will not get promoted to that level or be compensated for the high workloads.

      Pros

      Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

      Cons

      The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
