Pros

Pension contributions and 401k match, generous time off for maternity/paternity leave

Cons

Extreme, crushing micromanagement; mass layoff of remote workforce under the guise of “collaboration” and now defunct work from home program; nepotism and politics abound; unlimited PTO, which is nothing more than a cost-cutting maneuver to avoid accrued payouts when people leave; questionable “leaders” haphazardly firing long tenured employees; incessant re-orgs; tyrannical CFO along with other new “leaders”; shrinking bonuses and pay increases; unrelenting and unwelcome changes
