Pros

The pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Too many to name. The culture is even worse internally than it appears internally. No value for the people. New CEO is self-absorbed and building person brand.

Pros

Beautiful place, and once was extremely enjoyable to work for.

Cons

D.E.I obsession ruined a professional, and fun place to work. They no longer promote the best, and the brightest. They hire based on Race, not professionalism, or experience.
