Pros

Nice people and direct management is usually good. Sabbatical. Some workplace flexibility. Reasonable work load and work-life balance.

Cons

Higher level leadership does a poor job setting and communicating strategy through a convoluted process. There’s a lot of red tape in most roles. Slow moving. Kindness and politeness is prioritized over progress and results. A lot of “dead weight” on teams and high achievers aren’t rewarded well. Can be cheap with employees. Actively divesting from the employee experience.
