Pros

Their 401k is not bad, and my coworkers are generally good people.

Cons

Management is discriminatory and hard work gets you nowhere in the company due to favoritism. Regularly put down and singled out and management/HR doesn't care, I've literally been told by HR to 'get over it' when going to them for help. I've gone nearly three years with no raise due to 'restructuring'. Also work 50+ hour work weeks because management doesn't know how to manage the place.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
