Pros

Has great employee benefits. Adapted well to the pandemic in terms of quickly allowing employees to be 100% remote.

Cons

HR leadership not transparent, also kept changing direction and org structure. "Rewriting tomorrow" is fine but if clear communication and open collaboration are not practiced well enough, plans trickle down to the employees too late which makes it difficult for employees to thrive with change.
