Pros

Decent compensation and benefits. Company goes above in giving back to the community.

Cons

Hired a new Insurance leader a bout 2-3 years ago that only cares about reducing costs. Doesn't understand or appreciate anything remotely technical and is killing any sort of innovation. Just appointed a new international lead that failed to drive any significant programs / projects when he ran part of the division. HR put in a Capital One copy-cat performance management system that is very outdated.
