Pros

I've never worked with such amazing people and teams. People hold themselves accountable for project completion, are open to hearing other ideas and getting to know their colleagues on a personal level. Work/life balance was one of the best I've experienced. I enjoyed how structured the company was and the amount of knowledge and expertise everyone had.

Cons

The compensation is so low. I couldn't continue working here with the small merit increases they give annually. My manager also wasn't great at helping me develop my career and how to navigate the company to move into a new role. The career opportunities are there within the company, my manager just wasn't aware of how to help their employees. Many people on my team left for other roles or different OU.

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.
