Pros

Relaxed environment, there's no rush for you to get work done, and long as you're submitting.

Cons

Didn't work on something I'd consider exciting or modern that translated to valuable skills on my resume.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
