Pros

I don't think there are any if you are an experienced professional who is used to being treated as such. The last few years have been a real eye opener. At the simplest level of providing parking, restrooms, decent work areas, meeting areas, PAC can't even get that right or anywhere near it. Typical 401k match, medical is decent not great, comp is seriously low and they know it but for some reason think they are some upper echelon employer where people are lining up (new grads might be). Bonus is totally up to your manager and has reached an all time low so zero confidence you'll get one and my forecast is you won't. please look at your work environment before you sign on, ask where will I sit, what would a typical day look like, check parking, bathrooms, etc... its funny those are the things (basic) that I have to write about. The people who built the company, those are the experts and the pro's to the company I have only once worked with people so bright. I also wonder sometimes how people who are so bright put up with the conditions at PAC. I do not joke when I tell you that prisoners have more space and privacy.

Cons

Management - Exec, typical is 7 layers of mgmt above actual IC's. Compliance working conditions (lunch bench workspaces, minimal meeting spaces) you are lucky to work here mentality. Silos, even more silos. Extreme turnover with layoffs looming in the future, if not now according to their job posting for an HR expert in handling RIFs, though they probably misworded that posting according to HR. Typical response to questions from all hands (over the years) is "we are investigating that, and looking into that... for years they have been investigating and looking into that." nothing ever done. not even sure they changed the water filters in the fridge. break rooms and accomodations are a joke. typical wait times for bio breaks are bad as there are only 4 toilets per building and hundreds of employees. not uncommon to leave the campus to use a bathroom at a fast food place in lake forest. No WFH policy and actually pretty against it.
