Pros

I once got a free cookie in the cafeteria.

Cons

Management has zero shame in stealing ideas and passing them off as their own. Then when they don't fully understand what they're "selling" to senior managers, they throw their team under the bus. I watched it happen many times over the years on my projects and other's projects. I have no idea how this company decides who to give promotions to because leadership skills is clearly not one of the criteria. After getting yet another bad raise (3% in 2022 even though the company posted another record profit year) I decided I was done.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
