Pros

The actual work is fun and challenging. You work with great people. They have an employee stock purchase plan, 401(k) matching, etc.. There are some good training opportunities, usually unofficial flex time, and usually let you take time off when you want too. Lateral moves within the company are encouraged. You can get 'spot' or 'impact' bonuses, but they are increasingly rare.

Cons

Low annual raises won't keep up with inflation. Annual bonuses are usually not very good. Few opportunities for promotion. They expect you to perform more and better every year, but don't really reward you for good performance. Every year the health benefits cost more.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
