Pros

For the area, the pay and benefits are good.

Cons

The management is awful, overtime is mandatory and often last minute, and HR is not interested in actually investigating anything. If you go to HR with an issue, their first response will be to go back to management and then stick you in a meeting with them and management with absolutely no effort spent into checking with any other witnesses. Management is also the ones who write the reports for HR, so they can and will neglect to include any details they find inconvenient such as if they are the ones who made a bad call.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
