Pros

- There are opportunities to grow. - Great start to begin your career. - You can gain a lot of experience - Decent pay and benefits. - Education assistance - Diverse - Great co-workers - Good teamwork amongst employees, at least in my area

Cons

- In the 5 years I’ve been here the company has become a stressful work environment. - Upper management makes poor decisions and doesn’t listen to their employees - Overworked - Work/life balance is difficult depending on your title/department. - Company may be a bit too forgiving - No one to report anything to or talk to. It’s quite sad since I used to enjoy working here, but those days are long gone.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
