Pros

I loved my immediate team and it was the first time I had paid vacation time in my career so that was a plus.

Cons

The management was faulty from the top down. They boast that they support women but after giving birth I was expected to be on the road traveling within weeks of being back from maternity leave with no support. They also don't invest in higher up talent and HR is a complete and utter joke.
