Pros

Flexible work schedule. Good cafeteria in some locations. Flexiblilty to work from home, which leads to working all the time and expected to be working all the time due to flexibility.

Cons

Technology is really, really far behind. Too much red tape. No communication to lower level employees. Salaries and treatement below average salaries and treatment for similar work elsewhere. Parking in some cities can be difficult and expensive. Working constantly in IT.

Pros

Work from home is only pro

Cons

So many issues. No raises. Layoffs everywhere. When those happen you have to do extra work (no additional pay) Toxic culture Leaders are DINOSAURS who should be cut. C suite delusional on growth expectations Run away from this place and don’t ruin your career.
