Pros

Competitive salary and bonus structure. Good benefits. PTO accrual starts at 4 weeks per year for new hires and can go up to 7 weeks for long time employees.

Cons

No work life balance. Top heavy management means there are not enough people to do the actual work, leading to many late nights and weekends spent at work. Organization is poorly structured and and designed more around status collecting than around productivity and efficiency.

Pros

Not sure there were any in the end other than I loved my co-workers. Would have said flexible schedule but that was boss specific and ended up changing depending on the month & whether he liked you at the time or not.

Cons

Poor upper/middle management in my department. Zero training or recognition of those who do work while ignoring the other half who don't work. There are some good departments and great mgmt there apparently, just not my experience or what I heard thru the grapevine and others. Also didn't seem to care too much about quality (of products or of data/results we produce) when I started although that mentality may have been changing but the damage done may be tough to overcome. Hard to believe they've been able to keep customers, much less get new ones.
