Pros

Welcoming environment, friendly coworkers. In-office expectations are pretty reasonable depending on your department.

Cons

Pay, pay, pay. Your job is worth ~30% more at other companies. As a result, high performers are leaving in droves while management either turns a blind eye or flat out denies it's happening. As for replacing these folks, it's been basically impossible with what I've been budgeted. Limited ability to grow within the company. Internal job boards are a complete mess and don't mention the department the posting is for, the salary range, or even pay bands. I know of several colleagues who have inadvertently applied for demotions. Throughout the pandemic, food in the office was totally free. That was great. Just as we all got our -7% raise relative to inflation, they stopped subsidizing the food. Hilarious.

Pros

The people. I worked with genuinely talented, hardworking colleagues who showed up for each other and for the work, even when leadership made that hard.

Cons

Leadership at the senior level was chaotic and unclear, and it trickled down into everything. Projects routinely landed with little to no notice, leaving teams scrambling instead of planning. Budgets were micromanaged from the top while strategic direction was not — a strange mix of tight control over spending and almost no clarity on priorities. Communication from senior leadership rarely made it down to the people actually doing the work, so teams were often the last to know about decisions that directly affected them. There was also a clear undercurrent of fear among some senior leaders that discouraged any real innovation or experimentation — better to play it safe than propose something new. If you're someone who thrives on clarity, planning, and a culture that rewards new ideas, this is not that environment.
