Decision making can be slow with a lot of "red tape" to be followed. Company expects a lot of their staff in terms of effort and committment including long hours as required. The positives however far out way the negatives.

Pros

good benefits, good flexibility on hours, ability to work at home if necessary depending on your manager, do nice things for employees like health fairs

Cons

executive turnover is beyond excessive, leadership can't seem to find a consistent vision and changes the strategy every six months, difficult to keep up with revolving door of higher ups. heard there used to be company parties and company picnics but all have been eliminated so there's no team building going on at all.
