Pros

People on immediate teams are great Generous PTO and benefits Flexible WFH policy

Cons

Frequent lay offs, 1 or 2 a year, does nothing positive for company culture Pay is below industry standard Very corporate culture with platitudes and sycophantic behavior at the top, meanwhile very talented and often vocal veterans are not listened to, appreciated, or retained Has become essentially a tech company with heavy emphasis on AI Hiring freezes

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
