Pros

Great mission, and the lower level team members really want to do what's right. Senior management talks a good game, and they seem to want to do the right things as well.

Cons

Somewhere between senior management and the staff, the message gets "polluted". Lots of politics and minion building. Headcount = power. Some very incompetent middle management. Culture caused me to leave.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.
