Pros

Tremendous mission - Public Safety. Great training opportunities at all levels, especially leadership. Great people who are highly dedicated to doing their jobs and making the world a safer place. Very flexible work environment.

Cons

Politics and bureaucracy have increased extensively during the current CEO's tenure. Leadership issues at the very top and the CEO moves very slowly to deal with them. One senior leader in particular is in his third role, has never communicated what he was going to do, and has never accomplished anything in any of the roles except for getting the opportunity to move to another role. Very dysfunctional and a concerning lack of accountability.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
