      Pros

      The benefits and bonus plan, especially the LTI, are nice. We were always paid on time. There are some good people here and I made some friends.

      Cons

      Truly awful leadership. Very senior "leaders" berate employees in meetings. New ideas are not welcome, and you will be ostracized for daring to think differently or for challenging status quo. Micromanagement is common, so be prepared to have VPs meddling in your day-to-day work. Psychological safety is largely absent, so eventually you will just stop speaking up altogether to protect your health. Yes-men and other suck-ups are valued and promoted, regardless of their accomplishments or rather total lack thereof. There's also a lot of backstabbing and people playing games to remain in favor with senior leadership.

      Pros

      The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

      Cons

      Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
