Pros

-Half day Fridays year-round -Generous vacation & days between Dec 25-Jan 1 are considered holiday -Good/Nice people -Fun industry -Led with integrity -Hybrid work schedules -Okay health benefits -Pretty great work-life balance

Cons

-Career advancement is very difficult; there is no career map or metric based performance reviews to prove readiness for promotion (and even if you do meet performance requirements, promotion may be delayed for various reasons unrelated to you) -Pay is not competitive -New hires are offered higher pay than existing employees for the same job -A lot of people in high level management positions due to tenure (continued to get promoted after maxing their pay scale until reaching a VP level after 20-30 years), which means there are several arguably unqualified people in power -On the flip side of the above, there are some instances where a promotion means very little other than title and pay change; the job is often the same, no major upgrade in responsibilities or decision making power (I suppose some might see this as a pro) -Some groups work harder, not smarter -Very traditional and risk adverse ways of doing business

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
