Pros

Company is always growing, benefits are decent (healthcare has increased rapidly the past few years). Vacation time is fair, they offer 401k matching, and they do offer a pension. They also offer tuition reimbursement and wellness reimbursement.

Cons

Upper management seems to only be concerned about how much money they are making or how big their next bonus is going to be. Employees are simply treated as numbers and no matter what your performance is your bonus and raise will be very small. High performers are not separated or acknowledged when they go above and beyond. Company seems to be bleeding actual talent (probably more like a rush now) instead of retaining and promoting their best workers. Outside workers are brought in and given higher titles compared to people with years of experience. People have realized that they can coast and do very little, and they are not punished or let go. Maybe they receive a 1% raise instead of 2% raise, but there is no pressure to perform. It doesn't need to be that the bottom 10% of workers get cut every year or anything like that, but workers that are not contributing should be told so and compensation should be applied elsewhere. Talent leaves and just gets plugged in with new workers, and expertise and knowledge is lost along the way.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
