Pros

Money Health care & pension Free Cycling changing rooms with showers. Lots of other offices making internal rotations easy. WFH options.

Cons

No work life balance. Extremely long hours and far too much overtime. Working with far too many stupid people. Really bad hiring processes. Contractors hired because they are easy to fire while waiting to find the right person. Extremely poor senior management that have no idea. Being treated like a number not a person. No exit survey because it will all be negative. No way to provide feedback which just causes the same problems to keep happening with no change.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
