Pros

pay and benefits.. most of the people are wonderful.

Cons

I am still haunted and upset. If you get the wrong boss watch out. nothing is fair.. all politics. Never go to HR for help. They always take managers side. Fit in with the culture. Keep your mouth shut, do your job, and go home. Never try to shine... you will be sorry. I worked harder and longer. My boss was threatened and found a way to get me out. My first boss was a dream come true. Second boss nightmare. She made up lies, was condescending, and only got the job after 30 years because she was a woman. Terrible micromanager who didn't care about company.. only cared about saving her own skin and being right.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
