Pros

The pay is pretty good and you get a nice yearly bonus, plus a salary increase of about 3%

Cons

Extremely old school culture. Get rewarded by allowing us to wear jeans (it's not 1970 anymore). Explicitly against working from home, even though they say they are flexible. If you're in a technical role, expect to be managed by a marketing person who has no technical knowledge and will never appreciate your work because they don't understand it. Upper management are babied and treated like gods. Everything is urgent and top priority but then 90% of this work is discarded by leadership on a whim.
