Pros

The people are great! I enjoy the work I’m doing and know I’m making a difference.

Cons

Leadership: from my direct manager, to the executive over my business area, to our executive team - do not recognize me or my teams extraordinary efforts and positive outcomes. There is NO positive feedback, no monetary reward, no “thank you.” Yet, my work is marketed as THEIR biggest success for the year to the board and peer executives. The executive team continues cutting costs at the employee level but not the executive level. Why are they exempt from the cost cutting? Why are they still getting bonuses, raises, and perks when employee recognition is cut, bonuses will likely be cut next year, and we are working more bc we can’t replace people who have left? Seems out of balance.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
