Pros

Great learning opportunity on how to play politics and hone suck up skills to get new leadership to like you. Wonderful experience on how to look for another job while working full time.

Cons

So many talented people have left the company since new C Suite leadership arrived in the past 2 years. Corporate values sound good (they did to me as well) but are just lip service. No diversity or inclusion. If you have an opinion keep it to yourself and do as you're told.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
