Pros

Flexible work week (9/80 every other Friday off) Employees are knowledgable and willing to share their expertiese 100% Tuition Reimbursement for Technical Degrees (MS, PhD) Builds world class technology products

Cons

Casual (i.e. unpaid) Over-time is the norm Promotions promised and then never received Jobs vacated by retirees are filled by college new hires, but the new hires make half of the pay but are expected to complete all the same tasks as the previous employee, this makes for real quick burnout Many office areas are lackluster and old, some renovations are in process, but turning into a cubicle city, which results in loud and noisy workspaces in which it is difficult to conduct work Lacking in adaquate facilities for nursing/lactating mothers Only four days of sick pay allotted per year

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
