Pros

Life Work balance. Coworkers at your level are great.

Cons

Management keeps you in a location that you don't want to be in because you are "too valuable" for the program. Promotions are hard to do, I had to get another offer for them to match it. Recognition isn't great and sometimes management will take your ideas and call them your own. The review system is bogus, almost everyone gets "3" out of 5 and then there are a few outliers.. We called it "Recognition by socialism" because your raises were based on where you already were in the scale.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
