Pros

Decent benefits despite cutbacks. Overall work-life balance is great. Compensation is above average. Many opportunities to expand knowledge and growth. If you want to learn how to do things right the first time, it's a good place to be.

Cons

Career-wise, mobility (vertical, horizontal) is limited. Current events have had a significant negative impact to business and organizational practice in the company. This has impact on morale, job satisfaction, more interoffice gossip/politics and job security.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
