Pros

Good pay for what you do, which is little. Many are allowed to work from home. Very flexible hours for most. Some departments have excellent management teams

Cons

Leadership is full of dead wood. No one wants to "own" anything but they are more than willing to take credit. Lots of VERY cautious people work in Director rolls. Watch out for those who take the credit for all your work. There is lots of cheer leading from the top with new initiatives each year. And then there is no follow through which can be very discouraging.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
