Pros

Salary, bonus and health benefits

Cons

Terrible UX Leadership that is toxic to the employees. They like to talk negatively about every employee on the team, despise people who do not fall in line with their beliefs, the Directors/Head are extremely incompetent by not understanding UX and do not care about employee wellbeing. Do not work here - the UX Leadership needs to be fired.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
