Pros

Variety of projects ensures good all-around work experience. Ability to work from home (not everyone gets it, and there's increasing pressure to discontinue the practice). Tons of PTO/vacation (4 weeks off the bat, if you've been with the company longer you get 5 weeks). Some really nice people in middle management. Efforts at organizing employee fun days. ESPP.

Cons

Frequent acquisitions of other companies shatter company identity and employee loyalty. So many different branches you will never know all the services/products the company offers. A strong sense that employees are dispensable. Shockingly high compensation of top brass while employees continuously laid off or denied merit-based salary increases. Employees don't feel comfortable expressing their opinions of how the company is run, and management does not genuinely solicit employee feedback. Frequent and unnecessary process changes.

Pros

The company offers excellent training and a thorough onboarding process, helping new hires feel well-prepared and confident. The small, close-knit teams foster a collaborative and supportive work environment where you never feel lost in the crowd. Employees take pride in the innovative technology and software being developed, which is recognized as impactful within the industry. (Note: The company was acquired by Microsoft to bring potential for future growth.)

Cons

While the company excels in many areas, there’s limited upward mobility, especially in certain career paths, which can be frustrating for those seeking advancement. Additionally, feedback from employees often feels like it’s not taken seriously, which can lead to disengagement when trying to influence change or improve processes.
