Pros

There are some great people. Very relaxed. Good benefits.

Cons

Senior management more interested in their own prospects than their teams. The company is very good at talking publicly about diversity, the gender pay gap and mental health but in reality they've cut most of the most senior women in the business at every single possible opportunity. They made a few people who were on maternity leave (or who had just returned from mat leave) redundant, I think this shows the true values of the business. Extremely US centric.

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
