Pros

Free snacks, drinks, and occasional entertainment. Depending on your group/job function, ability to work from home (at least during COVID )

Cons

In my personal experience, very poor management and very poor hiring practices. Takes FOREVER to hire someone, even extremely qualified folks ( not talking about me even though it took more than 3 months for me to get hired ). I referred more than a dozen people who are extremely qualified and it took months to get one person an offer and it was too late so they didn't accept and took a position with another company.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
