Pros

Pay - negotiate for higher pay and a sign on bonus, they can ALWAYS go higher or add a bonus with amounts depending on position. You “feel” like you are really a part of the mission and valued. They hire 50% on if you are a fit for the position and 50 if you are a fit for the role, so study the mission and values and work them into your interview.

Cons

Absolutely NO security! You could be winning awards, going above and beyond what is required, but at the end of the day you are a number on a page and when, not if, cuts are made you better hope you are your manager’s favorite or your gone and will never return. Don’t dare take anything to HR! It will blow up in your face ! While you feel you are a part of something larger, those values and perfect culture aren’t actually real!

Pros

4 weeks of PTO, good benefits, free drinks and snacks available at all locations.

Cons

Leadership is inconsistent and often incompetent, company is very segmentalized and each group operates to different goals and schedules, poor communication with other parts of the company and with leadership. There is an overarching Yes-men mentality amongst leadership, and they often are just aiming to not be the group to be to blame for delays or failures. Personal growth is limited and widely ranges between different groups, there are areas where people see regular raises and promotions, while the majority seems to be told there are freezes or that they will be put in for next cycle. Pay has fallen behind, in the past they used to pay well and above the industry standard, but have not kept pace. Hours can be very long, again dependent on your group, some people may enjoy things like work from home or flexible schedules, but the majority are asked to work long hours and even support roles that could be remote are forced to be on site, despite a lack of space for the number of employees. I moved desks locations and buildings 6 times in 3 years. Re-orgs happen every 6 months, and create significant instability within the company, but rarely bring positive improvements. Good talent is not rewarded, and leaving quickly.
