Constant reorgs, poor management

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lot of really good, smart people

Cons

Poor management, no career path for high performers. Constant (pretty much annual) major re-orgs that never actually "settle." A lot of talk about pay equity and inclusion, but the experience / reality does not bear this out. Culture of fear, very hierarchical, finger pointing instead of collaborative problem solving.

Pros

Work life balance. If you are a slacker, you can get away with doing very little. I’ve seen this happen time and time again. People who are really great at telling their bosses how great they are will get promoted. The work is pretty cool.

Cons

Those that work hard, get more work. Promotions are unfairly awarded Lazy colleagues
