Pros

Good pay and good benefits, and overall interesting work

Cons

Leadership at all levels is the most toxic and politically-focused I have ever experienced. When I was first hired, the leadership in place actually valued and listened to their employees, but changes over the last 2 years have seen almost all of those people get fired or quit due to the new leadership. Current leadership (particularly Directors and VPs) believe they are the smartest people in the room because they are in positions of leadership, when in reality they would not cut it at all at any other company at their level, and it feels like they are only there due to tenure and playing the political game in order to get promoted. They are not making the right decisions from a business standpoint, and are constantly cutting down their employees and disregarding their input. You walk away from a meeting feeling like you cannot do your job. Overall it has become the most toxic and demoralizing workplace I have ever been a part of, yet everyone feels stuck because the pay and benefits are too good.
