Pros

The role had a lot of potential, most of it went unrealized given corporate turmoil.

Cons

You will only be rewarded if you suck up to senior management or work within specific bounds - out of the box or independent thinking will not be rewarded, and will make you a target. This goes especially for women. They prorate new hire bonus potential to 20% of eligible bonus target even if employee has excelled in all projects. Certain people can get on a upward track, everyone else languishes in their current role with little opportunity to get skills to advance. 12-15 hour days are normal. Worked 100hrs multiple weeks straight. Compensation is poor for the work hours expected.

Pros

- Great work / life balance, leadership wonderful dependent on team, collaborative coworkers, everyone try to help each other

Cons

- internal processes too long, hard to progress career if you are not loyal to certain leaders, sometimes we get in our own way to service our customers, internal bottlenecks between sales and delivery at times. If you are someone who likes to follow processes this is a good place, if you are someone who thinks outside of the box and pushes the envelope of change for betterment or more efficiency - you could be frustrated
