Pros

The people there are awesome to work with. I had mentor that challenged me to great achievements. These last years were something I will always take with me and smile about. I was also privileged to have some amazing Managers. Long term benefits are nice, ie 401k health, dental.

Cons

Absorbing amount of work load is handed down to one and placing extreme amount of pressure to get job done in rush time. Economic rise in apartments trippling, food, school care and daily needs it made it impossible to live on. Note some areas are less costly but even in the outline areas over 60% of wage was going to just an apartment payment.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
