Pros

Good colleagues, but they've mostly left. This was a company I loved working for until 2022.

Cons

The biggest con is they've developed a culture of overwork and burnout. I was working 60+ hours a week and was still drowning in work. I often had 20-30 hours of meetings a week in addition to 100 emails a day, even even i was off. Because of this I had no vacation for over 2 years (don't let the flex time off fool you). I asked for help and head count and was denied. When describing my level of burnout to my manager a few months after the request for help, I was told "well, we're all busy." The pay is not great and they absolutely hosed everyone on bonuses this year. You're locked into tiny merit increases unless you have a competitive offer, but at that point you should leave. There is no manager development, so there are people leaders who don't have the skills to develop and guide their teams. They also aren't cultivating future leaders. HR exec came from Walmart, a company not know for their employee-focus, and that worries a lot of people. Multiple acquisitions occured without proper vetting or the experience to handle them, leaving many departments on clean-up duty. Offshoring in cheaper labor markets so not sure of long-term job stability.
