Pros

Good company, mix of great leaders and those who need to develop their leadership skills, good internal training programs, GREAT engineering. Fantastic CEO (Tom Lawson) and CHRO (Deanna Fidler). Overall positive culture.

Cons

Lots of change. Some areas of the company are very supportive of their employees, others offer very little support - inconsistent. There are some fantastic leaders at the company, but unfortunately this is not consistent across the firm.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
