Pros

You have quite a bit of autonomy over projects and there are some intelligent people that are dedicated to their jobs. The retirement plan is good - each year, the company contributes a percentage of an employee's salary based on what age range they fall into.

Cons

The company has recently conducted layoffs and have let go of some really competent employees. It appears that the company does not have a good handle on how to address employee morale and balancing of workloads among the employee's that remain. The benefits are mediocre - PTO not competitive within the industry, only one health plan to choose, from, etc.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Leaders within department org are great. Awesome people to work with day to day

Cons

Senior leaders at top of org are meh. Talks of 5 days a week in office very soon. It feels there is a lot less flexibility than before covid with a lot of badge report monitoring and micromanaging everyone to be in office for 8 hours. Whereas before pandemic it was a lot more lenient to go to doctor appt or child care without worry of retaliation that I didn't hit my days in office this week without a documented reason
