Pros

Full benefits, decent discounts, nice employees, decent PTO.

Cons

Incompetent management. High school mentality among some coworkers. No room to move up unless you are dating a manager. Too many politics. High turn over. They make you fill out a development plan when there's no such thing as development.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
