Pros

None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Absolutely no pro's to accepting a job offer at this company unless it is a 6 or 7 figure salary.

Cons

Obsessed with change. No one knows what the goals of this business are or what your job really is because this company cannot make its mind up on a solid direction it wants to head. Zero job security. Attrition is massive. Layoff's around the country are continuous. They like to use fancy and politically correct words like "restructuring" and "exiting" to sugarcoat what they are really truly up to, which is mass layoffs. Do not plan to stay here long term. Who know's what I'll walk in to this morning; they'll probably have more big news that they are lowering our wages or making us part timers so they can give themselves even bigger bonuses at the top. Can't wait for a new job offer elsewhere so I can be done with this terrible company.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Cons

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
