Pros

Great work/life balance; good benefits; some caring and competent managers and individuals who are nonetheless hampered by toxic 'stab you in the back' culture.

Cons

Old guard middle managers who care more about keeping their do nothing, accomplish nothing, cushy jobs. If you cross any of them by actually trying to do a good job, they will crucify you. They are enabled by a work culture of people who rather talk about their employees than talk to them about how to grow and improve. Some of them don't know how to have constructive conversations about anything so you won't know how to improve and develop because it will be all about the gossip or their opinions. Some people lacking the most common sense (like actually liking people and conducting themselves as mature individuals) actually get promoted to people leadership because of their subject matter expertise. Middle management is running amok and executives are too preoccupied with attempting yet another reorg to pay attention; it's like no one is minding the store.

Pros

- Valuable to have a job in this market, and somewhere that historically pays a market rate - unlimited PTO for fulltime

Cons

- New CEO is something...concerning. Workforce reduction, replacing C-suite with former pals from previous companies, huge push on AI without the subsequent reassurance that our jobs won't be replaced. Seems like the goal is for all of us to train AI to do our jobs before getting let go. Really tone deaf when us little people have livlihoods on the line.
