Pros

Smart, capable and talented people work here in grunt work positions. Facilities are stunning and inspiring. At times there is great work/life balance. Bonuses and retirement package are top notch and the only thing keeping many there during incredible times of turbulence.

Cons

What was once a place of respect and collaboration has quickly slipped into an oligarchy with more brown-nosing and backbiting than you can fathom. Notice any positive reviews are coming from senior managers, on a campaign to clean up the ratings here. Work is expected to happen at double speed, with little to no support in proper channels to complete with any level of success. More senior management is getting hired when there aren't enough associates to complete the work. You are expected to answer emails all weekend and on all vacations. Autonomy and ownership of work is non-existent anymore. Structured agile, not functioning agile. Teams are too large to be nimble so you become reduced to email answering cogs.

Pros

Benefits and compensation were great. Most people were really nice.

Cons

Can become a gossip mill if you allow it. Constant rumors of HR cases, people forced to resign, inappropriate comments, etc. Some of the team leads and leadership actively participating in that gossip- really disappointing to see.
