Pros

Good perks. Good workplace. Health care.

Cons

Bad leadership. They hire more and more managers and micro manage people. Managers are quite pushy. They don't care about you they care about their KPIs. Makes me feel I am slave here. Company aim to turn around and highly invest in AI but little outcomes of it. A couple of layoffs in past two years and make people feel uncertainty.
