1) good people below senior management 2) good benefits

Cons

1) Big social media campaign to "pay it forward", and claims of taking care of employee mental and financial health, then follow on to lay off hundreds of employees with no notice. 2) DEI and ERG efforts look good on paper only 3) IT Career framework that went nowhere
