Pros
Good benefits that start on day 1, they even offer pet insurance, flexible work from home, employee resource groups, some people are very knowledgeable and helpful, diversity and inclusion, some internal training/support exists, lots of people with long tenure that never worked anywhere else, interview was straightforward- Behavioural and technical questions & no assessments, personality tests. Appraisals no longer have ratings
