Pros

Pay is fair to good. EV parking On site gym and cafeteria

Cons

Top tier leadership consisting of a handful of retirement age men micromanage the entire campus. They encourage a divide between the execs and rest of campus. All about how they look to visiting vendors, guests. Lots of lip service to equal rights, pay , diversity etc. but nothing actually comes of it. Known for not paying vendors. Meeting dense environment. Everything is a meeting, even meetings about upcoming meetings.
