Pros

- Good Benefits (401k, PTO, Family Leave etc) - The employees , frontline talent - Community Support and Volunteer Opportunities

Cons

- High attrition in multiple areas. Leadership gives no recognition to the primary cause; the significant change in culture over the last several years, the failure to staff authentic leaders who are focused on developing staff. - Lack of compensation adjustments for long term leaders and significant reduction in compensation adjustment pool over the last 4+ years. - Allow new managers, directors to be placed or hired based on leadership’s perception of talent when they often have no experience managing people or leading anyone. Quick elevation leads to leaders who focus on what their manager will perceive as successful that will allow them to continue to move up. This eventually eliminates any true investment in those they lead. Everyone becomes secondary to their individual career goals.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
