Pros

Good benefits, especially the housing assistance benefit that helps you purchase a home with a forgiven loan after 3 years of service. Does a lot of work in the community to make housing affordable to everyone. Company offers paid days off to volunteer int he community.

Cons

Many decisions are made at the executive level and not communicated down respectfuly or within a reasonable amount of time. Also has ahistory of overloading the company with contractors to get through tought imes thus straining the budget and not being bale to fully invest in permanent employees. This leads to frequent downsizing on a yearly basis.

Pros

The culture is more supportive than competitive/toxic; quite decent work-life balance; good benefits - especially 401k; heavy emphasis on utilization of AI to support most job functions but with risk and safety in mind.

Cons

Changes are quite fast-paced and growth can be slow. Experience can be very team, project, and division specific as with any big company.
