Pros

-Patient Experienced Employees willing to teach/train the new hires(w/ no experience) when learning/struggling. -Starting salary/pay is not bad for a person like me with only a BS -For the most part, everyone is friendly.

Cons

This is from personal observation(hasn't happened to me yet): There are a couple employees that are very demanding with another employee from another team. Always telling them to do this and that for them, every once in awhile is fine, but some people make it a habit Off topic Con -Cafeteria employee do not know the prices of their items so be careful when youre buying food from the cafeteria they might charge you something different day to day -Diversity isn't that great, but hey if you need them to get the work done i understand

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
