Pros

Good work-life balance, culture of putting employees first actually seems genuine; company has a policy of not laying off employees, so job security is good

Cons

Physical work environment sucks, at least for us IT folks. Think dingy, gray, windowless cubicle farms with atrocious lighting. Even better was wandering through parts of the buildings that were obviously designed for humans, with non-beige paint, plants, natural light and everything, and knowing I'd never have an office or cubicle there. As an intern, I got to develop software, but I was told that even the appdev team generally doesn't do that anymore, and a lot of the actual employees were jealous of my assignment.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
