Pros

I absolutely loved everyone in the office. It was a pleasure to be in the office even while being able to work from home a couple days a week. I mostly wanted to be in the office. The vibe was electric, and the projects were inspiring (but there could be some "pays the bills" projects). I always felt the exposure or facetime with higher managers was fantastic. There were monthly sit-downs with my team leader on top of the weekly team scheduling meetings. I could request being put on other projects, or express an interest in getting a new certification and they would back me on whatever i needed. This was also where I could complain about a manager or employee working under me, but that wasn't ever the case. I did get guidance on how to motivate some staff who weren't really being productive. Also, the benefits were good. HSA contribution was the best I've ever seen, and 401k matching was good.

Cons

I was told when I was hired that they never do layoffs, or higher/fires, for reason of staffing up for jobs. I learned that was not true after a few months just from hearing about some people getting laid off and actually returning a few years later. I think they should be honest about that. They started doing layoff in 2023 and kept doing them for over a year. It was dark days for everyone.
