Pros

Able to move to different teams, but its all the same people. Good work/life balance, but mostly because everyone knows this job is pointless. Sit at my desk 8 hours a day with no guidance or direction - able to go to school and work on personal projects.

Cons

Bad leadership, little to no training - they expect you to know everything, toxic work environment with no change in sight. Pay/benefits not worth the job environment. Nepotism IN FULL SWING!!!

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
