Pros

Most of the people you work with are kind, not exceptionally smart, but nice.

Cons

There is a new culture of "young is better" coming through. Old timers are getting squeezed out along with all their institutional knowledge. Benefits are being cut, return to the office is in full effect, promotion freezes (unless you are in the C-Suite), budget cuts, the 401 (k) has been revamped, and health insurance rates have increased by 40% for employees for 2026. Additionally, a mass layoff occurred this week. All with an eye on the stock prices....the IPO will be the death of this company's employees. You will never move up, you will never get promoted. They mostly hire from outside for "key" positions. And when they don't know what to do, they reorganize and cut the workforce, and keep the same quotas. This is where your career comes to die...run away!
