Employee Stock Purchase Plan Questions

Do yall invest in your ESPP. I can buy stock at a 15% discount which sound great but should I max it out? I'm an An1 and feel like this could make me over exposed to my specific bank.

Should I max it out and sell immediately? Sell calls? HODL? What do yall do?
