Pros

the only good thing about this job is the 9/80 schedule, which still doesnt make it worth it.

Cons

This is by far the worst organization I have ever worked for. The company is so large that its a complete mess. Dont expect to actually be trained on your job, expect to come in and be thrown right in to work the hardest youll ever work and barely being able to figure it out as you go, all to see other employees barely lift a finger. You'll have leads that dont do anything, that never help when you need it, never show you things, and youll complain to management about them and they will get promoted. There is extreme favoritism played here along with the nepotism. If you want to move up in the company, well you better be in with the execs. The benefits are below average and the PTO is even worse. I am going on my second year with the company, and I have even moved to different departments and from what Ive seen, its all bad. STAY AWAY - its not worth it.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
