Pros

Good pay Good benefits On-time pay

Cons

Manager is not a leader. Only talks to the people it likes and not inclusive of the whole team. Instead of talking directly to its members, one or two members will get the memo/task and will talk to the rest of the members; politics inside of this "smaller team" is rampant. Manager doesn't check on you about your well-being, no 1:1s even though the company mandates this. No established onboarding process. Guides for each tasks are given by word of mouth. There is no proper documentation. Information is not well distributed in this team. Either they hold it hostage so that they will have job security or so that people will come to them whenever they need help. Failures will or might be used against you, so you must be perfect at all times. They require RTO now for 3 days a week so if you're far away from the office, you might have a hard time.

Pros

At scale, the company has robust HR and finance systems. You can join a variety of activities. Work schedules and locations are flexible. Compensation is competitive, with strong bonus opportunities.

Cons

Disorganized and image-driven, with a focus on awards, taking credit, showy behavior, and ingratiation. Many leaders/managers lack technical expertise and favor manual policies over technological fixes, which creates heavy bureaucracy. Leadership practices are outdated and exhibit many harmful traits: large power gaps, HIPPO, special treatment for certain people, leaders who avoid accountability, condescending behavior, a culture of blame and public shaming, micromanagement, and inappropriate language in meetings — overall a very unhealthy work environment. The frenetic pace is largely self-imposed and stems from poor planning at the management level rather than industry demands.
