Pros

benefits, cafeteria, vacation time, flexible hours, medical leave HR Is a nightmare, do not EVER bring an issue to them you will be targeted for removal

Cons

- bad computers and equipment on your first day (seriously used/old/dirty computers) and this is your first introduction in how they "include" you - they do not ask what kind of gear you need, and if you need something nobody will help you get it ordered, and you may get directed to an old office that has become a graveyard of bad old equipment to pick through. - unfriendly coworkers in many cases - lack of true collaboration in many cases - they talk about DEI - lots of seminars, but in practice it is not respected ouside the seminars. They get people to confess to imposter syndrome and act like isn't it great to always go around talking about your weakness and those people are the ones who got fired and layed off the first chance they get. - they suck interns in like crazy grind them up, then spit them out quickly and they hire so many just to keep other companies from being able to hire the fresh meat.

Pros

Food, facilities - I have little to no positive things about to say about this place.

Cons

Low pay, lowballing - purposefully keeping experienced employee at low IC level despite going above and beyond and breaking your back for them week in week out - below levels given to graduates that don't know the difference between their elbow and hole in the ground, impossible to get promoted based on merit (not to mention you're not getting any pay bumps - just dry "promotions" - politics and visibility mean everything here - you can be a deranged moron - as long as you brown nose hard you'll reach the stars here. Sellers you work with will use you as a dump for questions/random requests they have no idea what to do with. For their incompetence they are showered with money, awards, trips while you as technical get none or reprimand for whatever nonsense they come up with. There's no career development for you here if you're technical - only a funnel to make you a full time seller. Avoid this place unless you're a slimy corporate drone - then apply - you'll feel right at home with the rest of backstabbing sleazeballs.
