Pros

The salary was decent Decent working spaces IT department was ok

Cons

Where to start.... No onboarding training at all... Manager was way to flippant.. we take it easy of Fridays and was literally booking tee times Assignments were all over the place... no follow throughs i.e. would start a project and before any progress made. on to the next one Unrealistic goals.. so much of my job was depended upon other people doing work . Zoom meeting with dogs barking Asked me to fill out a review but was his only subornative so if I said something bad, he would know it was me. Took business casual too casual. Has no business being a manger; way to over the place No clear set schedule on the "hybrid" model There would have been no place for to go anyways. Manger hung me out to dry on a major presentation..

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
