Pros

Great benefits, pay, perks and connections. They do a wonderful job of marketing to the employee and creating "buy in". You can't help but feel excited about working there. They make town halls feel like pep rallys and leadership meetings (When you've been deemed an invite) excite you about the potential. They have a wonderful inclusive culture with lots of areas to get involved...if your workload allows. Bottom line they have great ideas at the top, however it doesn't trickle down and if it did, no one follows through or can afford to get involved.

Cons

Not everyone is on the same page and you have to be able to play the polictical game. Top line leaders start a lot of projects and "road maps" to initiate simplification and cultural change and expect their employees to work a full load AND manage the daily workings of these projects. Their main kick is to "simplifiy" and they get employee involvement but then the projects eventually fizzle out with no results or cultural/business impact. They are so concerned and buried in process and procedure that they never get to the end result before the project dies in paperwork or people lose interest. My boss started a 2 year project, invested 1,000 of dollars and man hours and eventually just decided to stop the project. No impact what so ever other than a large chunk of budget was wasted. It ended up creating more bad than good. The worst thing about it. His project failed miserably and as a result he was promoted!!

Pros

* Great people to work with. Many employees are collaborative, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping one another succeed. * Strong heritage brand with a long-standing reputation in the industry. * Opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of work, projects, and business challenges. * Employees can develop broad experience across multiple areas of the business due to the scope and complexity of the organization. * Talented teams with significant institutional knowledge and expertise.

Cons

* Over the last six months, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and leadership approach. * While there is considerable emphasis on teaching, coaching, and upskilling, much of the development appears focused on reinforcing predetermined viewpoints rather than fostering meaningful learning, critical thinking, or diverse perspectives. * Decision-making increasingly appears to be driven by top-down directives, with limited emphasis on data-driven discussion or healthy debate. * Career growth and advancement opportunities are unclear, with few visible pathways for progression despite increasing expectations and responsibilities. * Workloads often feel unrealistic relative to available resources, staffing levels, and timelines, creating challenges for teams trying to maintain quality and balance competing priorities. * Employee retention does not appear to be a strategic priority. The departure of experienced employees has resulted in a loss of institutional knowledge, raising concerns about long-term organizational stability and engagement. * The current culture can feel more focused on alignment with leadership narratives than on employee development, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making.
