Pros

- Compensation: Free money for the quality of work required - Politics: If you are good at playing politics, you will thrive - Benefits: it frankly beats so many other places when it comes to 401k, health, gym, time off, flex work

Cons

- Politics: Recognition and Rewards are driven by who you know not what you achieve - Little correlation between achievements/contribution and recognition/promotion - Too many bad apples promoted: high positions belong to those who are patient enough; the brightest elements tend to leave, despite the great benefits

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
