Pros

Stable company; has an interesting niche in it's line of business.

Cons

Promotion and review process is an extremely subjective experience. If you like the security and steadiness of working for a State DMV then this is the place for you. Or if you are a younger worker, intend to stay for a short period of time then move on it's worth it. On the other hand if you are a senior level professional - and are looking to advance your career - and you are not offered a management spot - this is not the place to go to. By the way this review is based on the totality of time there. Circumstances did not allow me to leave earlier - once those changed I found other employment and left. One last note. While the business model of the company has stood the test of time - that is changing. Other larger competitors are starting to implement the same ideas.

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.
