Pros

10 sick days, 2 personal days (can use even for mental health), 20 days PTO (15 for analyst) and 16 weeks paid vacation for maternity/paternity

Cons

Constant hiring freezes. HR needs improvement. Promotions are political and at many people's discretion that you don't know and can't control. Wage increases were 0-1% on years when you don't get promoted (which are most years.) They can't or won't fire bad people. It takes an act of congress, so bad people just get moved around. Internal leadership goals were to hire and promote diversity.

Very collaborative environment with good leadership in most divisions.
