Pros

Certain business lines are quite stable and support a number of long term, stable positions. Pay and other benefits are respectable.

Cons

Depending on the area, management can be provincial and resistant to much needed change. As a result, application of corporate policy is often uneven across reporting lines and internal conflict between areas is not uncommon. IT infrastructure is second-rate, aging, and inefficient for the supposed "cutting edge" assessments that are being developed; IT support is a strange hybridization of internally-based knowledge resources and traditional 3rd-party outsourcing. No clear paths or guidance related to advancement.

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
