Pros

Good experience in the tech industry. Great benefits. There are great career opportunities to be had. The new adoption assistance is great. Very safe place to work. Great sabbatical program that provides for 8 weeks of paid time off (in addition to vacation) once every 7 years. It really gives employees a chance to refresh and refocus on who they are, not who they have become.

Cons

Comparative low base pay and a very poor rank and rating system. Too much focus on diversity, and safety communication is pretty much preachy. Employees who should have been fired for poor performance end up sliding by for at least two years due to the ranking and rating system.

Advice to Management

Focus on the employees instead of the bottom line.
