Pros

The company is super old so there is never really anything that makes that much of a wave. Even with a whole overhaul of their IT teams, it doesn't feel like anything really has changed much. People stay here absolutely forever, mostly because it is so easy to get into a grove and get comfortable. Can't say much for other teams, but IT/Design is pretty chill.

Cons

Definitely has an old boys (and girls I guess) club vibe. A huge percentage of people have been there 15-20+ years and will absolutely let you know as a way to strike down any sort of innovation or anything that is risky at all. That stability is nice it some ways, but also pretty annoying if you want to grow yourself as a researcher and you're dealing with people that don't even understand the value of UX research in the first place.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
