Pros

Once an employee earns full vestment and maxes out at four weeks paid annual vacation, it's hard to find a comparable position elsewhere. Health care package is decent but growing more expensive for less coverage.

Cons

Senior leadership changes frequently, allowing huge, expansive changes in priorities for a global company. Millions of dollars spent on enormous IT projects are wasted when a new directive forces an almost completed program to be "shelved" before it can be fully deployed, in favor of whichever pet program the new leader(s) hold dear. CIO averages 1 - 1 1/2 years before taking their incentives and bailing. Next batter up brings thousands of employees wherever he or she feels the can make a name for themselves. Annual performance reviews are a waste of time and are usually based on "personal goals" written for an entire org by whomever is in charge at the time, but they rarely even apply by the next year's review cycle. Finance leaders project aggressive, often impossible earnings goals, then blame low annual bonuses and stagnant upward mobility on the missed projections that they set but couldn't execute.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
