Pros

they have really good medical benefits, fmla, short term disability, vision, and dental, 401k matching worked with some great people

Cons

office politics high turnover very stressful environment employees doing the right thing are treated shabbily even though co policy is "do the right thing" work environment is very structured expect to get backstabbed by management watch out if you make a higher wage than entry level –they’ll find any excuse to get rid of you to save a buck (bonuses are hard to come by even if you qualify) they promote advancement opportunities - but not many see any wage is not median w/the rest of the USA or even locally

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
