      Pros

      I was employed there for a little over three years. Performed more than most on my area. Free food, good benefits, and good working hours.

      Cons

      Too much favoritism. Manager lied to everyone in my group when asked if there was going to be a possible layoff; we were told that everyone was going to keep their jobs..that they would find us work to do regardless..too much micromanagement..caused moral to become very low, positive work atmosphere seemed to dissapate at a rapid rate. People who were laid off had NO clue as to what was going on at all. Layoffs were done very unfairly/sneakily. Greedy company who did not look out for employee's best interest - especially at the lower levels - no opportunity for advancement at lower level.

      Pros

      Great mission and leadership at all levels

      Cons

      Some managers isolated you and your contributions, and it is not easy to overcome this when you work remotely

      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 Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
