Pros

Great co-workers, ok health and other benefits.

Cons

I've been working at this company for a while now and it's gone from a decent place to work to a soul-sucking work environment. Work- life balance is terrible! Productivity seems to be an afterthought, with senior leadership seeing every project as an exercise in business theory. They don't offer direction or answers; instead, they ask countless questions to explore the idea and focus on minutiae. There are here are *endless* approvals and poor communication. Projects are dropped in your lap at the last minute, even when you're already facing an overwhelming workload. The environment is so dysfunctional that the team morale is low, resulting in a high turnover rate. I've never experienced a place like this before, and I hope to not experience it again. There is also little to no mobility which is why so much of the turnover is junior staff. If you're considering applying for a job here, my advice is that you think twice. This company isn't the best place to work if you want a healthy work-life balance or an enjoyable job. You'd be much better off somewhere else.
