Pros

There are some great people to work with, and learn from. Benefits are good, pay is OK.

Cons

Poor management all around. Severely misled on hire what I was hired i n as, let alone for any promotion. No real career path options, and any that come up are either slated for some butt kisser or they hire someone from outside that has no clue on how to do things with this proprietary network.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
