Beware. Not everything is as 'advertised' once you get here!

Pros

Great benefits, nice co-workers who do try and help. Some leaders here really do try!

Cons
  • The job you get may not be what you thought you interviewed for.
  • A hybrid environment means you're punished if you want to work remotely.
  • Very command and control culture, not an agile environment at all.
  • Lots of good "talk" from senior management, but little action to back it up when it comes to fixing things or making things better.
Advice to Management

Be honest when recruiting people! I was totally misled in my process.

I do believe they want to create good things, but there's just so much bureaucracy/red tape it's going to be hard.
