Pros

some perks - profit sharing (though new hires get 2 token checks before you see any real bonus which means 1 year wait until full participant in profit sharing). Amenities are good, gym, cafeteria, & offsite access to recreation center (but comes with compulsory membership fee regardless of usage)

Cons

Advancement opportunities are slow, far and few between. Transparency in hiring practices from recruiting and hiring teams is nominal at best. If you don't know someone or participate in the right cliques you're not going to advance quickly or at all. Work life balance is not prioritized even though it is espoused as a value.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
