Pros

Great benefits, pay is good.

Cons

The last CEO was bad, this new one is worse. Also, this is an extremely woke company, which is fine if you lean that way, but the rest of us think politics and Leftist virtue signaling is unprofessional and does not belong in the workplace. Pushing diversity and inclusion nonstop is obnoxious. Hire the best person for the role, regardless of what that person is regarding race, religion, gender, etc.
