Pros

The company has great pay and stellar benefits. They even have a benefit for IVF. They offer 6 months of job-protected parental leave, and if you've been there over a year and are a birth parent you get 100% of pay for 8 weeks plus your short-term disability.

Cons

Fortunately, I had a manager that would protect their team but the company is very unorganized. They implement and change policy on a whim and expect everyone to fall in line immediately and execute all the changes to perfection. The demand is extremely high. There is no work-life balance. You have to be EXTREMELY detail oriented because people will use what you say in emails against you. It's best to just copy and paste from the policy to provide people with answers. You just never know who is going to through you under the bus and for what. Even if it has nothing to do with you.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
