Pros

The pay is okay, and there is free food onsite. The campus has bikes you can ride. There are doctors and dentists onsite. My team has interesting work.

Cons

Very long work hours. Leadership has demonstrated that they have no strategic direction on the company direction. Leadership has also shown that they don't care about employee morale. You're treated as an expendable resource here that is just here to train your AI replacement. Everything is about the performance review cycle here. Long-term thinking and planning does not help psc, so no one does it. Pay is not higher than competitors.

Advice to Management

Show that you care about employees by doing something meaningful like promising no more layoffs this year, everyone gets a good rating this half, or some higher company bonus multiplier for the ICs doing the worm, not for the C-suite and VPs destroying the company culture.
