Pros

Has a good team dynamic.

Cons

-Your manager might be nice and understanding, but skip-level and top-level managers do not care about your well-being. -If you take maternity leave or require postpartum accommodation and you are not a Director+ level, you will be penalized. Your bonus and salary will be negatively impacted. It will delay any promotion that you have in the running. -Upper management does not care about you or your baby's health. If you try to work from home, it will go through a form process but then end up rejected. If your baby can't take a bottle, you'll need to choose between nursing your baby or working. Working moms - BEWARE!!! -No office party or food. They are really stingy, especially post-pandemic. They even ask you to bring your own mug if you want to drink water. They make it seem as if should be thankful you can actually drink filtered water there.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
