      Pros

      Benefits, location and flex work opportunities. Base pay ok but bonus opportunity decreasing for VPs and above.

      Cons

      Leadership pontificates about compliance and accountability but jumps out of the way of blame flowing downhill. Broken systems and processes and siloed communications leave even the most earnest of employees vulnerable. Work loads are high as reductions in force trail on and on. Open office working environment is distracting and demeaning. Once you've moved on to a company worthy of your talents, you'll be embarrassed you stayed as long as you did.

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
