Pros

There are alot of check box items, that make the company look great on paper

Cons

The lived experience of the employee is not great, for example; they might have a 'tick' for employer of choice for women, but I would not agree that it is. Having seen 'behind the scenes' there is not transparency around salaries, support for employee sickness and well being. There is a lot of talk of flexibility but you better be in meetings that are put in your diary at any time of the day. Redundancy 'cycle' every 12 months.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
