Pros

Good benefit. Generous 401k plan. Salary is about industry average.

Cons

Wrok/Life balance is poor in some groups. Some directors send you emails on Friday afternoon asking for some deliverables on Monday morning, which means your weekend is gone. They take this for granted and so do that over and over again. Terribly old technology. The company was still using WinXP in 2015. Some VPs and directors never knew how to respect people. Bureaucratic environment. Poor IT support. On-board process was extremely inefficient and painful. It can take you 2-3 weeks to just have SAS worked. No one would want to help you because they do not want to experience the torture again.

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
