Pros

-Some very friendly people -Fun environment

Cons

-Unsupportive culture - was assigned to a project where budget was running out and the original project plan stated the project would require getting additional funding part way through to complete the project. I asked for additional funding with months of lead time and was told first to use all of the project budget before asking for more funding. Then after the budget was near zero when I followed up asking for more funding was asked why I had let my budget run out. I was scrutinized and questioned as though I didn't understand project management. -Tumultuous politics - Toxic politics between project execution team and PMO. Project execution team was messing up elements of the project. By merely having to point this out to everyone I was questioned and attacked by the execution team and my management. I couldn't ensure the project executed successfully nor get support reporting the issues that needed to be changed. -More politics - depending on the area of the company I worked with as my project crossed over many, some teams I had to coordinate with were passive aggressive and ultimately it turned out dishonest about elements of the project I'd then have to find out and become the messenger who got shot for doing so.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
