Pros

Central location, and beautiful grounds

Cons

I have been seeing the excessive drinking at these so call company "Ho Ho" events that have continued to make hardship on families as the employees have become alcoholics. When is the company going to stand up and stop ALL drinking!! Does someone else have to get a DUI at a company function? Do more families have to loose their loved ones to this deadly disease? Please stop!!!

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.
