Pros

Learn a lot, great mentors, set up meetings with people from all departments to give you a good foundation to help make career decisions.

Cons

On boarding process needs work, I showed up the first day was given a tour and a laptop and told to start working. I was told the project later that day, but I had no idea how to clock in, what websites they used, or how to fill out my W4. My manager set up a bunch of meetings for me to learn about the company but they were set up about 2-3 weeks after I started, so I did a lot of research to understand the project and be able to complete my work in the mean time.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
