Pros

Pay and benefits and easy work, not challenging at all, most average capable people can do it and it seems to be a feature across multiple areas and disciplines. In general it is one of those companies that runs itself and most people don’t need to be that driven or creative, money keeps flowing no matter what.

Cons

It is literally run like a high school in the absence of adults, sometimes it even looks like a kindergarten playground. Cliques are everywhere and if you don’t fit in one of them they make sure to exclude you from everything. Dog whistling and racism are mildly obvious not matter how hard they try to appear otherwise. Diversity is null, unless you suck up really hard to male Anglo speaking white management. Code of conduct is applied selectively. Clearly incompetent people get promoted out of nowhere and for no obvious reason, merits none.

Pros

The company offers decent pay, good 401k matching, and a nice bonus structure, The corporate office is nice, and the vast majority of rank-and-file employees there are friendly folks who are passionate about the work they do. Day-to-day work is a steady pace while allowing breathing room to dash out of the office for a quick lunch or errand.

Cons

The acquisition by private equity has turned the company on its head. Management seems to constantly be threatening more cuts at all times- a mentality shared by the top that seems to trickle down to frontline managers. There is a squeeze for work, and people will pass the blame on any blunders, no matter how small, to save themselves. Additionally, any talk of strong job trajectory or upward growth has shown little proof; the only way to get properly moved around is to know the right folks higher up in the hierarchy. The best recommendation is to wait until the company is sold during the next acquisition and reevaluate from there.
