Pros

The campus is beautiful and the benefits are fantastic (this is the best health care I've ever had - giving 3 stars for compensation & benefits for compensation). They're incredibly flexible about WFH and there's no pressure to return to office. You get the opportunity to work with some incredibly intelligent and amazing people.

Cons

There is zero accountability here. It seems like most managers do not hold their employees accountable regarding performance nor are they proactive in their development (most people complain about rarely having 1:1s with their manager). Promotions and raises have come to a screeching halt but there seems to be a huge need to continue to promote people to Vice President. Everything is tribal knowledge and nothing is standardized. Each department and program has a different way of doing things and collaboration can be challenging and faced with opposition over processes. As of lately, the theme has been if you're great at your job, you're rewarded with more work instead of financial compensation. Morale has been low with the fear of layoffs constantly looming over everyone's heads.

Pros

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
