Pros

Good benefits, good pay, some good people (but you never know who you can trust because it’s a dog eat dog environment). You won’t take work home, but will take home the feeling that you’re worthless, because they will deliberately make very intelligent people feel inferior by design.

Cons

Incredibly toxic environment, fear based culture, zero accountability. The company throws money at people instead of addressing any actual employee feedback, but creates new PR schemes to make it seem like they care (like the owner gaslighting a group of people talking about diversity being the focus because “it’s the right thing to do,” but having it only matter if/when it brings in profit). Any progress that moves the company in a positive direction (from the genuine people who do actually care) is quickly undermined, and those people are forced out. You also have zero say in your career trajectory, and they target people who see their value and want to do more. They hold financial control, just like an abusive relationship, and discredit your talent until you question your worth. Run.
