Pros

I met a few great people, all of whom have also left, but otherwise no pros.

Cons

Very high stress and toxic environment in which everyone is miserable. Managers are rude, often engaging in derogatory comments and talking about employees with other teams. Very little patience for new ideas and lots of ego getting in the way. I went to HR multiple times about a particular set of managers, who were extremely condescending and purposely looking for opportunities to undercut me, but ultimately had to leave. Tons of people were quitting when I did, as it was a toxic environment. I wouldn't wish this workplace on anyone.

Pros

Week vacation around Christmas time. Flexibility with work hours and some work from home options.

Cons

Merger has been awful. Cost of benefits increased dramatically. They are doing away with monetary bonuses for the most part for a silly points system that many do not favor. You no longer get to carry over PTO time. All of the SOPs and systems are changing. Resourcing is horrible and top performers get rewarded with more work. For a company who states that there goal is maintain top talent you sure have a poor way of showing it.

Pros

Any pros that I could think of have evaporated

Cons

Where to start? * no raises * no promotions * no bonuses * no respect * insufferable workloads * ridiculous "points system" to replace bonuses, which everyone finds a joke * elimination of carryover PTO * elimination of insurance stipend that helped offset the skyrocketing premiums post-merger
