      Pros

      The parent company has great benefit plans and centralized centers of excellence working on dissemination of training and best practices throughout all the individual teams.

      Cons

      If you're part of a recently bought group you will see disorganization in the acquisition process. I have to keep up with 4 different training systems, 3 network domains, hr policies change every year, I can't implement all the center of excellence practices because I don't have access to all the tools (two years in to the merger) our contractors will never have access to the tools, and our middle management is slow to embrace the tools.

      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.
