Pros

Good food, decent training, and a open work environment.

Cons

Leadership is lazy do not adhere to the MBM principles. Those same principles are culted upon you in training. Leadership was never there and a very biased group of individuals. The open source metric reporting system laid a platform for them to practice biased behaviors upon the specialists. The worst "leaders" I have ever had in my life and career. My upper management knew nothing about technology only pretended they did, Charles Koch pays them to care, politics at its finest. The department was very racist against minorities as well. My grievance resulted in my ultimate "Same day separation". Which is why I feared to report any wrongdoing of management/peers in the first place.

Pros

Good insurance. The Atlanta office was more flexible with remote/hybrid work

Cons

The politics. People devalue teammates. Constantly changing direction so no meaningful impact can be made. Not a lot of diversity. If you don’t ask how someone’s kids are, you get complaints that you’re cold and difficult. Got there and a reorg killed the reason I was hired and was never provided with any sort of hope of growth opportunities.
