Pros

​- Some teams were great to collaborate and have a chat. Good way to stay in touch and network - Nice location of their corporate office - Monthly company socializing and other events - Free food and company swags - Decent benefits package - Casual tech company attire that you see nowadays - Executives are accessible

Cons

- Felt like a bro culture during my time there - Cronyism and nepotism, so good luck getting a promotion to Senior or higher level role - Turnover rate - Pay was low compared to same role of other neighboring companies - Lacks cognitive diversity (not to be mistaken by the other definition of diversity, they're good on that). - They seem to hire like minded mannerism - Some of the people who's been there for decades or longer are stuck with their outdated ways of thinking - Some of the new people there were left to be guessing around and figuring things out themselves - 20+ years and still acts like a startup
