Pros

Great official company values like supporting work/life balance, empowerment, continuous improvement, diversity. Official company benefits include insurance, paid vacation, personal, & sick time with caveats in certain departments.

Cons

Members of customer facing department do not enjoy the same work/life balance support as other departments and are punished for using allotted sick time. "Paid sick policy is not the same as attendance policy," is a line I never heard at any other company. Political environment. Managerial discretion is too loose. Mid level management does not seem to be held accountable for supporting company values & I have seen that going to HR is never to an employees advantage. One particular manager shuts out any information that is contrary to what she wants to hear & attempts to intimidate people who do not see things her way. Over emphasis on numbers & too little focus on good behavior leads to sloppy work & bad behaviors that are practiced so the numbers look good.

Pros

Sometimes pay, but not worth potentially losing your job

Cons

Layoffs every few months. Too many middle management that don't have any technical skills. Will be sold off to equity firms in the next 5 to 10 years
