Pros

Strong work–life balance. Most teams respect boundaries, and workloads are generally manageable without excessive overtime. Talented colleagues. Many employees are dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely want to do good work. Opportunities to contribute. When leadership empowers teams, there’s room to solve problems and improve processes.

Cons

Return‑to‑office policy feels misaligned with job realities. Several roles that do not require in‑person collaboration were still mandated back on‑site, creating unnecessary disruption without clear business benefit. Health insurance costs are surprisingly high. For a company of this size, the premiums and out‑of‑pocket expenses are significantly steeper than expected, which impacts employees and their families. Top‑down decision‑making. Many strategic choices from the C‑suite feel disconnected from day‑to‑day operations, leading to inefficiencies and frustration at the team level. Communication gaps. Changes are often rolled out with limited context, leaving employees to interpret the rationale on their own.

Pros

I get to work remotely. They have a good retirement plan/401K. I work autonomously with very little oversight, meaning there's no micromanaging. They are great with holidays and time off. Very inclusive and socially aware. Those are two reasons I've remained employed by them.

Cons

The salary is lower than preferred. I've worked two years with zero pay increase because "no pay increases for remoter employees". The health insurance is lacking and not fantastic, but I'm not sure that's really a con since nearly every health insurance plan in America is lacking.

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation
