Pros

Good benefits, and they have tuition reimbursement. It's not a totally hectic work environment. In my experience, PTO and WFH requests are usually granted.

Cons

Extremely Political. Hard to work when managers are trying to get a one up on each other instead of focusing on goals together. I had trouble finding projects I enjoyed, and even when requesting projects and insisting on work I might enjoy, we were never given the opportunity.
