Pros

The salary is ok if you need a job but not great compensation.

Cons

My assigned group was in chaos. There was a management transition happening and numerous employees in my group were unhappy. New management was making a lot of unpopular changes and new to the management position. When I started, there was no clear plan for my job assignments. I was open-minded so I was ok, but was often given tasking other employees no longer wanted. The level of work given well surpassed the level I was hired for. Also no relocation assistance was provided! This is a red-flag for a company being cheap or a sign of an unimportant job! I've always received relocation assistance in the past. I also received no cost of living increase. Just a basic 10% bump although the area I was relocating to had a higher cost of living and I was underpaid along with most new employees in my group. Advice- if you know you were/are underpaid in your previous/current job, reasonably boost your last salary because HR gives little consideration. I only stayed for several months! Ironically, a family member had a bad experience with this same company in a totally different location! Future employee beware! This company is definitely sub par compared to its top competitors...

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
