Pros
Overall C-level organization with well-meaning individuals and nice coworkers. Great benefits. Genuinely tries to improve employee satisfaction.
Cons
Compliance matters more than progress. Changes take 2-5 years. Management is more like a highly skilled acting troop focused on top-down compliance rather than achieving organizational goals. Strong conflict avoidance tendencies. Politically fear driven managers and employees. Deeply entrenched (20+ years) management holding strong on party lines. Locally, there is fret and fuss and talk about deadlines and priorities and objectives. Globally, the organization moves at the pace it was always going to move. If you’re looking for a stable place to lay low in a down market or before starting a family, this is a good pick. If you want to advance your career outside of this regulatory capture domain (i.e. transferrable skills), look elsewhere.
