Pros

Great teamwork environment and love what I do.

Cons

The review process is horrible. Leaving management to pick and choose which employees are 5s 4s and 3s only allowing a certain percentage to receive a 5 or 4. It's wrong and allows management to play favortism. So if a manager has 5 people in the group only 1 or 2 can get 5's and manager must choose to down grade the others because they have met their limit. People should be given what they earn and not be down graded because a manager can only give 1 or 2 people 5s. It's a poor review process and in my opinion very unethical. If 5 people are in the group and they all deserve 5s then they should get it.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
