Pros

Some of the people I work with are outstanding, but so many of them have left already or are a foot out the door.

Salary is good, and in some roles, better than the market average. Figure out if you want to take your chance.

Cons

Gender discrimination is running rampant despite what social media will tell you.

You're either with the Old Boys Club or you are done. If you dare to voice any opinion that is not in line with what the fashionable behavior or buzzword is on a specific day, you are out.

Like many other reviewers said, this is not a workplace that cares about employee wellbeing. Don't get suckered into the social media hype; bullying, sexism, and discrimination run rampant. If you leave a decent job, you will end up stuck here because you thought it's a good place.

If you are neurodiverse or have a disability, run in the opposite direction. There is absolutely nothing positive or inclusive for you here.

If you are looking for career growth, also don't bother. You will be stuck in a job where you have to justify your existence in the company to every new fresh wave of managers.

Advice to Management

Be honest. Be compassionate. Actually lead by the values you force on us all.
