Pros

Beautiful campus, great reputation, awesome benefits

Cons

The software is outdated and isn't being sold beyond legacy customers, new software iterations are slower and worse performers (customers do not want to use it), no one goes in to the office and those that do already have worked there for so long there are significant cliques that are hard to break into, very political landscape with internal management, upper management acts like they care about you but doesn't, and if you do the SAS academy as a new hire beware of the TRAP (training repayment agreement program) - it is NOT worth the money they force you to pay if you leave because the training while immersive isn't relevant to what you spend the majority of your time doing on your actual job and by the time you finish you forgot half of it anyway since you didn't get to apply the knowledge beyond your learning. Also beware that the hiring bonus follows the same repayment scheme - it doesn't go aware after 1 year but instead after two (no one else does this).

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
