Pros

Good benefits. The stock has been a good performer, so ESPP/RSU is valuable. Flexible schedule. Can work from home when needed.

Cons

Management only focused on favorites. Easy to get overlooked. A meeting-happy culture wastes lots of time. Internal transfers seem to be discouraged. Heavy process around almost any activity. No effort to develop team spirit or culture. Most managers and employees' main focus is making sure they come out looking good, even at the expense of others.

Advice to Management

Learn how to recognize, encourage, and reward talent and contributions that don't emanate from sycophants.
