Pros

some good people on some teams, good people on contracts

Cons

~Unprofessional, lying, undermining, spreading rumors, obsession with getting promoted, threatening to leave, some sociopaths ~Apply for job internally w/out telling your mgr, no worries, HR will announce at a bar ~Don't apply for a job, no worries, someone will start a rumor that you did to get your mgr to hate you ~Try to leave, your mgr will try to fire you while you are in hospital or vacation

Pros

Kind colleagues, hybrid work (3 days in office), good benefits, and important mission.

Cons

Top heavy -- too many unnecessary talking heads with large salaries rearranging the deck chairs, while more people are needed to do the actual work. Not much autonomy and very bureaucratic.
