Pros

- Excellent benefits - Competitive salary - Nice people - Unlimited PTO - Fun company events

Cons

- Too few women in upper management - A lot of process red tape. Projects move at a snail’s pace, and it takes FOREVER to accomplish anything if any other person outside of your immediate team is needed - A lot of workplace politics to learn and navigate as a new hire - Employee recognition is lacking

Pros

It seemed the company was on an upswing

Cons

Morale is in the dumps. Layoffs have severed trust in the company. CEO has turned over his entire staff, meanwhile the issue is with a failure of vision, attention to project management execution, and meddling in the roadmap that produced no benefits
