Pros

Compensation is adequate/competitive. Benefits are good. Future revenue prospects are encouraging. People care about ethical business conduct and excellent work quality. There is also general awareness of, and efforts made to support, employees' mental health, which seems sincere.

Cons

My department is chronically understaffed, which leads to very long work days (12 hours or more) and constant pressure to deal with day-to-day "emergencies" while also completing more long-term deliverables, all with unrealistic deadlines.

Pros

Nothing, not a single thing.

Cons

The strongest reason to join this company is the people—if you can find the right ones. Genuine colleagues exist, and they often become the support system needed to navigate an environment marked by burnout, stress, and a toxic workplace culture. Unfortunately, professional growth appears to be driven less by performance and more by proximity. Promotions frequently feel tied to long-standing relationships with leadership rather than measurable contributions, leaving many high-performing employees questioning whether merit truly matters. The company continues to struggle with diversity and inclusion. Leadership remains largely homogeneous, and the lack of diverse perspectives can contribute to bias in decision-making and workplace dynamics. Several talented minority employees and leaders have already departed, and others continue to leave, raising concerns about retention and belonging. The culture itself is toxic. Boundaries are often tested, expectations can be relentless, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance requires constant vigilance. Employees who succeed here are often those who become skilled at navigating internal politics while fiercely protecting their own well-being. If you're considering joining, come prepared with strong boundaries, resilience, and the ability to advocate for yourself. Some people will make the journey worthwhile, but the environment will likely demand more from you than it ever should.
