Pros

A lot of great people that have worked with and for. Also, was able to learn a lot from talented individuals that have since moved on. Benefits start day one...5% discount on company stock. Big corporation with vast resources...unfortunately none have to do with IT software development.

Cons

Poor pay. Mediocre benefits. Almost 0 raises regardless of how stellar the annual review. Management has near 0 clue for ROI on IT projects, mostly due to upper-management promoting "people like them" and not the most qualified (no, definitely not me but others for sure). Ones who speak the truth are often ignored and either move on to better IT companies or are laid off. All suffer for that in the long run since it's always an IT problem and never willing to look "above" that. Phrase heard often: "We need to do more with less." ....not really good management but is an interesting theory that pretty much never works.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
