Pros

Tons of growth opportunity for people willing to invest in the company. My department has grown by 400% in the past 10 years. Lots of training provided. PM's are expected to have complete ownership of their projects.

Cons

Going through a digital transformation which should be good in the long term. Work life balance can be tough but it comes in waves.

Pros

Health insurance is good, that's it.

Cons

Compensation for time is insulting, Management is full of overly tenured know-it-all boys club members who would rather lose the company money and resources than take any criticism. HR issues are constantly swept under the rug and anyone who has an HR complaint will be patronized while simultaneously being passive aggressively pushed out the door. Once they manage to get rid of a dissenting employee the management will proceed to make fun of said ejected employees for months at a time until someone else becomes the butt of their jokes.

Pros

Lots of free food weekly.

Cons

Managers are an HR nightmare. Very abusive. Back stabbing. Entire management team are two faced. Once they dislike you they will all start plotting and planning how to get rid of you up to and including dishonest tactics. Once your gone they sit around for months and make fun of previous employees. The absolute worst place I have ever had the misfortune of working at... STAY AWAY!
