Pros

TF is a great place for work life balance. Pay is at average to higher end range. There are lots of career growth opportunities for a young inexperienced person like a recent college graduate. Depending on which department you get in, things can vary quite a bit since many are from recent acquisitions. Working there, there wasn't too much pressure to perform which can be both good and bad. On one hand it makes it easy to balance work and family but at the same time you can get mired in doing the same thing for a very long time.

Cons

Some of the pros of working at TF can also become a con. For example, the trade off of all the different acquisitions at TF is that there's no real corporate culture since everyone came from a different company. I also sense a lot of fear of sharing knowledge since people were afraid to divulge their "secret sauce" fearing that it make them obsolete and expendable. There isn't a lot of inter departmental teamwork and many things are fragmented. You can work on the same floor with another guy and never know what he works on, what product he builds/supports, or which department he works for. There's also a lot of turmoil at the leadership level all the time. There's no real sense of who's running the show at the top.

Pros

Good pay, good managers, and minimal micromanagement

Cons

Not great 401k or health insurance options for contractors, but that's par for the course

Pros

Plenty of wonderful benefits and the most competitive parental leave I have found in the US job market

Cons

Depending on the organization you work within, you could be working for leadership that expects sales reps to smooth over and fix every single mistake that is made. A lot of these mistakes are because they haven't yet recovered from acquiring new companies and they haven't absorbed CRMs and data correctly. There are many different teams to work with to get the simplest projects done. It feels like the companies values are really in place because they expect the employees to take responsibility for their lack of systems in place supporting them.
