Pros

Great benefits and pension plan.

Cons

People applying without an employee referral are wasting their time, as they always give preference to their employee referrals, even if it means hiring an unqualified person. Terrible work culture. Inclusive? Only if you fit within the groups of hierarchy. Some of the managers are bullies. Most of the engineers are annoyingly entitled. HR is a joke. Excellent work and going the extra mile is punished with more work and no recognition.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
