Pros

Good pay, benefits and perks (company car, cell phone, etc)

Cons

Very poor culture. Complete lack of professionalism combined with "high school-esque" drama and behind the back talk. Individuals will not hesitate to step on your back to climb their way to the top or throw you under the bus if they feel it is advantageous to their pocketbook or career path goals. You can not trust anyone or expect any conversation to be held in confidence. Perception drives opinions of individuals and their work, not merit or actual interaction or experience with people or their abilities.

Pros

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Cons

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
