Pros

WLB is great. Most people are nice and great to work with. Lunch/snacks is good. Pay seems to be higher than market median.

Cons

Limited to no career growth. You will only use current skills. Promotions are rare, and job changes are hard to come by despite many open requisitions. Direction is given but changes by the time it reaches the workers in the company. Most management openly treat women and men differently but act like it doesn't happen. It's hard to make a strong impact even if you are doing what you are asked.

Advice to Management

Have VPs align, then give direction to the employees completing the work.

Bottom-up management does not work. Too much conflict management is done at the bottom level. Surprising amount of misogyny for a company that is led by a woman.
