Pros

Very competitive pay, excellent benefits package, opportunities to move around laterally or up (to some point).

Cons

New management change up still needs work on communication and earining trust. But they have been making strides in this regard.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
