Pros

Salaries were competitive. The market has been resistant to economic downturns, so it was a good place to work through the various ups and downs of the early 2000's.

Cons

Leadership does not value employees. In IT you are encouraged to have a "work life balance" yet pressured to work 50-60-70 hours a week. Those who don't (work this much) get lower review scores at the end of the year. Leadership does not listen to its employees. You cannot be the dissenting voice in the crowd. Follow blindly and do not speak out.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
