Pros

The healthcare benefit is really good, probably one of the best in the state. There are also a lot of opportunities.

Cons

The process of moving roles within the company is a bit dumb, to be honest. Your manager gets an email every time you apply to an internal posting, and they get to chose whether or not you're ready. A bit toxic if you ask me, and discourages employees from applying to roles they're interested in. Also, the work-from-home policies they have been having is nonsense. No body on my team wants to go back into the office, and yet upper management is insisting on returning. Also, the CEO keeps saying that everyone is asking him when they can return to the office. I'm not sure who is asking that. Furthermore, the promotion process is kind of dumb as well. Managers are hesitant to fight for their employees and act in a way to please their superiors. Also, salaries are not in tune with the market at the moment.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
