Pros

Good benefits package and historical brand reputation

Cons

The culture has deteriorated considerably since 2025. It used to be a decent place to grow, but recently leadership seems be become increasingly focused on optics rather than people. It’s frustrating to see budget priorities placed on “mission-critical” buildings while internal teams are feeling the squeeze. Not sure if it even gets better after leaving, but staying definitely isn't the answer.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
