Pros

After 2+ years, here's my opinion:

  • Excellent work-life balance.
  • If you're lucky, excellent managers who care.
  • Many opportunities to grow and move around.
  • Emphasizes employee self-education and provides resources to do so.
  • Abundance of intelligent, experienced co-workers.
  • The company tries to be inclusive.
  • The company tries to get employee input.
  • Decent benefits.
  • Active new hire network.
  • Lots of socially engaging activities and communities (in-person pre-COVID; online during COVID).
Cons

Not every office location is ideal. A huge gap in hiring caused the current situation of rushing to pass knowledge from retiring employees to new hires.

Advice to Management

Listen to employees regarding roadblocks with outdated technologies (Sametime, Lotus Notes, etc.).
