Pros

Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Cons

There are so many cons. - The amount of favoritism is extraordinary. The teacher's pets can do no wrong regardless of how many mistakes they make. And the mistakes are major mistakes and frequent. - They work to death the hard-working, honest employees and let their pets get away with murder. - There are people who have been in their position for 6 months and get promoted. Do you really think they have mastered their position and are so exceptional they deserve to be promoted? I'll give you a hint, they aren't exceptional. Young and attractive, but not qualified at all. It's a popularity contest. - The outsourcing is staggering. The quality of work of the outsourcing is abysmal. - Promotions only for the cheerleaders. Doesn't matter whether they know the difference between a debit and a credit, they will be a VP in no time. - Leadership sets up meetings with each other so they don't have to do any work but look busy. - Merit increases are a joke. - Bonuses are a joke. - The CEO does not know what he is doing. Acquisitions, layoffs, acquisitions, layoffs, rinse and repeat. - Behind the times on anything technical, so much so you would think it was 1995.

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
