Business Outlook

Pros

Decent work life balance but high expectations to be available at odd hours if a project demands it. Good benefits and fair compensation (aligns with industry)

Cons

Reorganizing and consulting company analyzing processes...how can you analyze something that is a moving target? People are constantly looking over their shoulder because they are paranoid about the next layoff which has been clearly coming based on CEO stating there is a goal to streamline processes and a consulting company analyzing processes that have been in a state of flux for a couple of years...
