Pros

Good environment, and even though everyone's busy, colleagues are still there to help out each other. Good depth and experience on the various teams to tap into for research.

Cons

With recent autumn-waves of layoffs (and not re-filling those positions) everyone is filled to the brim with work. There used to be just the "busy times" such as June and January, but now it's busy almost all the time (no downtime to recharge).

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
