Pros

Great pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Entirely a "cvoer yourself" scenerio with no real investment in community, culture, or training. It is all lip-service and being able to point to performance on paper with little real world consideration. For basic team members, it is a stable job with good pay. For middle management, it is cut-throat and needlessly stressful. The pay is a trap. Company culture is confusing and not at all a part of everyday life in any real way.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
