Pros

Great coworkers. Easy to set schedule on your own time/flexibility. Pretty competitive pay. Good company ethics overall that seem pretty embraced by coworkers. Great growing opportunities with the right manager. Great in-company diversity & inclusion networks.

Cons

Pretty much all of the standard corporate problems: -great managers and awful managers, all nice people -poor upholding of values in management decisions, with no accountability when problems arise downstream -reverse racism -somewhat of a grind culture -some poor personalities that cause more problems than their work solves

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
