Pros
Procurement is central to operational execution; the work directly affects build schedules, quality, and homeowner experience. You can see tangible results of good sourcing and process discipline. Collaborative partners in Construction, Finance, and IT; respectful culture with a high bar for ethics and integrity. Mentorship happens organically—many leaders are accessible and invested in developing talent. Long‑tenured employees are common, which creates institutional knowledge and reliable operating rhythms.
Cons
As with any large, matrixed organization, approvals and cross‑functional alignment can be slow; change management adds overhead during rollouts. Local market nuances mean experiences differ—what’s efficient in one area can be more challenging elsewhere. Requires patience and adaptability.
