Pros

Modern technology adoption. HR does a good job of hiring smart and talented coworkers, but they're quitting at an increasing rate. High levels of "brain drain". Benefits are good, 8% 401k match

Cons

The leaders in North America, especially in Tech, are an out of touch on-size-fits-all dictatorship. The entire department spends at minimum 30% of the time in meetings, "rituals" and "leap week" including jr. engineers stifling progress. Earlier this year they imposed RTO and wish for full 5 day office. Raising concerns that the remaining top talent will increasingly depart - most cite these reasons - are met with indifference.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great Coworkers, Cafe at HQ

Cons

Position was eliminated following 10 years of dedicated service, with no transition placement or internal employment opportunities provided. I also don't believe the company knows or understands it's own culture.
