Pros

There are a lot of benefits that i like, mostly geared to health and retirement. Those are very important things to consider!

Cons

They are not as flashy about their benefits, things like free lunches are not a thing here and the industry seems as old as it is.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
