Pros

Good benefits and great PTO package. I believe it’s 20 vacation days, 10 sick days, a few wellness days in the summer, and my department gives off days for birthdays as well. They have a bereavement policy as well. I enjoy my team and the management is healthy and non toxic.

Cons

My bosses have a lot of people ahead of them in chain of command and seem to have little say in the policies associates are affected by. It seems right now we are going through a corporate squeeze, less employees and more work. Like many jobs, the upper management doesn’t bear the burden of proof or explanation for policy rollouts. It’s pretty demoralizing watching your team get laid off while more and more is demanded of you. You are encouraged to work overtime and the highest performers you are compared to do.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
