Pros

Believes in work-life balance; managers actually care about your career development. Their ACE CRA program is great; they teach you well and prepare you for what's ahead. Per diem is nice perk

Cons

You don't realize it until you start looking elsewhere, but you don't get paid much. Maybe it's because they are providing you the experience for later jobs but even when you do move up, you don't get paid nearly as much as you should.

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.
