Pros

-Pay was more than average -Peers are interactive -Events every so often to include morale -Health coverage and benefits are pretty good

Cons

-Nitpick your role, policy violations on the fly (that might not apply to your department in writing -managers are not leaders. Leaders invest in people, ITS has onyl a select few that choose to invest in their teams -To be noticed, impact in work applies on a global scale before it becomes a promotional scale. -Managers will give you items to hit for promo, but then will backtrack if the goals are hit and say they can't support a promotion -Accommodation support is hit and miss -HR is not there for you, only for the company

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
