Pros

Working here will look great on your resume

Cons

Managers are grossly unqualified to be where they are, lacking the skills, experience and training to successfully manage a group of people. They didn't care about their teams, only about how they looked and how they could get ahead. Rewards and punishments are handed out arbitrarily. When asked, managers refused to explain their reasoning for decisions. Our team was told never to escalate issues to the manager or come to them with questions. When we brought up issues with how things were managed we were told to shut up or go work somewhere else, which several people then did. The company loves to say how much their care about their employees while laying them off by the dozens. Most people I spoke with believed they could be let go at any time for no reason. Getting ahead in this company means appearing successful and hardworking even when it's evident people are not. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job, that is never taken into consideration.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
