      Pros

      Excellent modern facilities and open floor office spaces. Many company and department-wide activities that make for a strong company culture. Excellent work-life balance with work schedule flexibility.

      Cons

      Great for management roles and above. Otherwise, the jump into study management could be supported more in an environment where true collaboration to uplift every team member and make them better, seems to be sorely missing for a company of this magnitude and reputation. Mid-level management usually don't seem to have a good grasp of their title which is "management".

      Pros

      The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

      Cons

      QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
