Pros

Awesome facility, fresh cooked meals, access to physical fitness trainers, mental health professionals, health care plans, 401k matches, annual bonuses, etc. Recent model equipment for engineering teams. Break periods during peak traffic times of the year.

Cons

Heavy LDS influence in corporate politics. Preference given to LDS members, period. Bosses who deliver a death blow of a termination notice.

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
