Pros

As a large corporation there is some security. Not much, but some. This is a dinosaur of a company that's big enough to exist for maybe another decade. Some benefits are still kind of decent. It also takes a long time to make any decision, so if you want to work here and slack off, you'll have plenty of chance before anyone bothers to fire you.

Cons

Corporate-think has infected every level of the company. Innovation comes in the form of buzz-words and executive pet projects instead of real ideas. Hard work is never rewarded, but successfully playing office politics is. My supervisor is the most worthless person i've ever worked with.

Pros

Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

Cons

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
