Pros

Excellent benefits, ability to work remotely,

Cons

Leadership manages up. The company is going through transition handling a lot of litigation and breaking off its healthcare division. (This is all public information per each earnings call.) Meanwhile, it makes for a paranoid workforce. Leadership used to be kind and understanding but now many are difficult and ruthless. They don’t share objectives and direction downstream.
