Pros

Great benefits and co-workers across multiple levels of the organization, with some flexibility around the "work your way" programs. Ability to move into various roles and responsibilities if you make your desires clearly known,

Cons

Constant shift in priorities and a reactionary state, seemed as if things sometimes shifted on a daily basis, creating burnout and chaos. New leaders entering the company with total overhauls in strategy that haven't resulted in much positive and high turnover. Human resources are a revolving door and the executive levels are highly-disorganized

Pros

Some great people and teams to interact with. Very smart developers.

Cons

Corporate continues to cost cut, forcing people back into office, and promoting “new” culture.
