Pros

Good Salary and decent benefits.

Cons

The new CEO seems to have no clue on how to run a multi-billion dollar company. The top executives do not care about employees morale or satisfaction. They run an employee satisfaction survey then lay off people and right after that implement a return to office mandate and then pretend that employees are happy with the company's policies based on the survey. There is absolutely to clear goal in mind and it seems like the company is being set up to be taken over. Bringing up concerns to upper management is futile as their only response is deal with it.

Pros

Small Company Small Team New Building Moderate Workflow Need to be self-driven - getting work done by yourself with no help Some managers believe in Work Life Balance

Cons

Small Company Small Team System Issues Teams aren't good at collaborating If you're not able to complete work on your own without help, this is not the job for you. You might also be training yourself, looking for guides/guidelines yourself, and figuring things out on your own. Slow systems Too many meeting repeating the same information because no one can make a decision

Pros

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership. Typical "Good ol' Boys Club" type politics, and too many convoluted policies and procedures to keep up. Hard workers are awarded with more work, while others are allowed to skate by under the radar.
