Pros

Good work-life balance for the most part. Still have a hybrid in-office/WFH schedule.

Cons

Extremely low quality and professionally incompetent middle management who are only concerned with protecting their position. The business is losing contracts left and right and performing poorly on the ones they still have. Functional employees are treated like low caste trash by their leaders and HR doesn't follow-up on complaints. They are even known to yell at employees who dare to complain about their managers. Career prospects are nil. Very little internal promotion and constant downsizing.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
