Good flexibility, terrible structure

Pros

The flexibility and work life balance was superb in my business line. Direct manager was very personable and team was great to work with.

Cons

There is a severe disconnect between technical professionals and middle/upper management. The structure of the company to split BD from the technical area has created a major issue with winning the right work. Management hires externally of people they are close with instead of hiring (more) qualified candidates internally. Major lack of growth trajectory and overall vision for some business units.

Pros

The company offers extensive growth opportunities, both in current roles and for career advancement, with the flexibility to explore a variety of work and continue learning. Employees have the ability to move within the company, allowing them to pursue their interests and relocate as needed. A strong emphasis on quality and efficiency fosters a culture of innovation, and the company is always open to new ideas for improvement. Leadership is accessible for discussions, ensuring that employees are well-informed about the company's direction. The organization is committed to making employees feel valued and challenged while also promoting a healthy work-life balance through flexible schedules and opportunities for professional development.

Cons

One challenge within the company is the difficulty in obtaining authorization for funding to attend conferences or other external learning opportunities. Despite the emphasis on professional development, the approval process for such requests can be slow and often requires navigating multiple layers of approval. This can make it challenging for employees to access external resources that would help further their skills and contribute to their growth within the organization. The process can sometimes feel restrictive, limiting the ability to take full advantage of valuable learning experiences outside the company.

Pros

Great organization. Good management. Lot of transparency. Ladder is pretty clear.

Cons

Sometimes feels like a closed door company where lot of options mean nothing. Disadvantages of being a very large firm. Very confusing to climb the ladder. Individual attention must be earned.
