Pros

Benefits are competitive within the market and a lot of the lower level players within the company are nice people to work alongside.

Cons

To put it bluntly, the leadership team - starting with the new CEO, Malcolm Roberts. Every step of the way since taking over, Malcolm has seemingly done everything in his power to destroy company morale. At this point, it's actually amazing anyone gets anything done considering everyone just stands around all day and complains about the return to office. And quite frankly, there is no end in sight to the incredibly toxic, apathetic office environment. More recently, the company had correctly pivoted to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. However, all of that went out the window during the recent annual kickoff meeting when the new CEO disgustingly brought out Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, to speak to the company. Take a second to Google him if you don't know his history with women or Civil Rights. Apparently Malcolm was either completely unaware of Jones' history (unlikely), or he was complacent with the accusations lobbied against the Cowboys owner. Either way, as Malcolm sat there currying favor with Jones on stage, he made it abundantly clear that DEI is just a buzz word and holds no actual meaning to him. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere - the CEO of this company only cares about his status and personal image. He certainly doesn't care about his employees.

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.
