Development opportunities are great. Management strategies are communicated well down the chain. Ample scope to move around the company and internationally. One of the better places to start a career

Cons

Technical depth and competence is not highly rated. Too reliant on EPMS contractors. One too many org changes but not enough behavior changes

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
