Pros

Sustainable work pace, good pay and benefits, positive environment

Cons

As any large company, doesn't seem to be much flexibility in many HR policies, e.g. getting additional time off, either paid or not. Specific to my area of IT and software development, is a bit behind the curve in CI/CD and some software practices such as governance.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
