Pros

decent benefits, good work-life balance, people

Cons

- constant reorganization (had 12 different managers since I've worked there) - disconnected from people using the products - antiquated products - brown-nosing is the only way to get ahead - backstabbing employees in it for themselves - wayyyy too many mangers versus people who do actual work - soulless; pretend to care about education but only concerned about profits - insane amount of layoffs, regardless of your production and talent; be prepared to only be a number (i.e. a very talented employee I worked with who was known to be battling cancer was laid off recently)

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
