      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.
