Pros

Good pay and benefits. Great sustainability story and means to test and ensure a better future for our lives and environment. Innovative and balances it well with economic, social and environmental impacts.

Cons

Toxic work culture, lacks clear visions/strategies, poor leadership, unaspiring leaders, most employees are out for themselves and next steps. Promotes those with bad behaviors that are not aligned with the company direction or code. Paperwork and leaders comments are ones you can stand behind, but people especially the leaders do the opposite. Your told to go to leaders and HR if people don't follow our code of conduct but when you do nothing changes or people are just shifted around.
