Avantages
Got to work with amazing team members within a team where the work actually "mattered". Managed to use cutting edge technology and freely apply it where needed. Always a great deal of respect between management and team members. Yearly raises, and they dealt with the pandemic very well, allowing for fully remote work. The 4 day workweek is fantastic and should be allowed everywhere else. Having three day weekends is a game-changer. PTO was very decent as well, allowing an overall of 4 weeks of PTO per year. 401K matching is very good.
Inconvénients
Too big of a company to either make a worthwhile impact or to even make changes. There's a big struggle between older, more seasoned employees and younger ones. Even growing Slack adoption is a pain. They are super slow for promotions and retention is not their priority. Substantial raises are rare. They follow strict salary ranges. The Health insurance benefits are HORRIBLE for a company of this size and they should be ashamed. There's cost cutting going on and several people have been laid off. There's constant reorganizations that keep everyone out of place. The new CEO is just a mouth piece who doesn't really have any impact in the day to day, I still have no idea what he's doing but the Marilyn Hewson days were much better.
