Pros

Flexible schedule, on site amenties, gym, health care, cafeterias, concierge service, dry cleaning

Cons

The company overall offers great benefits and salaries in comparison to other companies. However, the overall culture and policies do extend to all departments. The department i currently work for operates within its own jurisdiction and primary concern is about performance and saving money at the expense of employee morale. It is difficult to get out of the department if you have not had opportunities to participate in projects or job rotations.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
